Is this what happens when the GOP is afraid of losing Virginia? This is the back of an official GOP mailer going out around the Commonwealth.

The most recent polling - and the only poll conducted in October - has him ahead, but there hasn't been an additional poll confirming it yet. Could be just one outlier. But North Dakota - and Montana, for that matter - has been surprisingly close for the entire campaign.

Ditto.

mario and luigi were born in america.

nope. redmond, washington. mario came from nintendo's landlord, and luigi came from a pizza shop owner. both based in america. the creator was from japan.

just to be clear, we're talking about mario and luigi from the mario bros video game.

you said "born in america" - those characters were created (aka "born") in japan, because that's where someone came up with them, designed them, coded them, etc. yes, in the story, they are plumbers in NYC.
