Sadly, Fairfax Co will continue its moonbat voting trend.

The VAGOP brand is badly damaged. The party has raised taxes and expanded Big Government in Virginia. Its prospects of retaining the Senate are dismal.

Cuccinelli and O’Brien should win. Devolites-Davis is in for a tough race. Hopefully, she will pull it out.

I thought the State Senate race in my part of Virginia would have been included.

My district is in northwest Virginia (Winchester City, Frederick County, Clarke County, and parts of the nearby counties of Loudon and Warren). The independent/moderate Republican Ross Potts (NOT Rusty) has retired, and has thusfar remained neutral.

The Republicans are going with Jill Holtzman Vogel, a lawyer, and a mainstream conservative; and, the Democrats with Karen Kennedy Schultz, a professor in the School of Pharmacy at Shenandoah University. Shultz’ commercials (which I had to endure while watching the Yankees lose to the Indians) imply that she is a fiscal conservative and supports 2ns Amendment rights. Holtzman has been endorsed by the NRA, the Farm Bureau, and our Congressman, Frank Wolf. There is a third candidate in the race, a fuzzy-headed independent. As a local newspaper put it, he “said his policies and platforms in full will be posted on a Web site that is still being developed.”

Holtzman has thusfar raised $783,000 ($1,500 from me); and Schultz, $398,000. Holtzman has less cash on hand, however, since a lot of her money was spent during the contested Republicans primary.

The district tends to vote Republican, and there is a pro-Winchester City/anti-Winchester City tendency that in net will hurt the Winchester-based Democrat. The third party candidate will siphon an unknown number of votes from the Democrat. Maybe I’m being too nervous about this race, and the reason this race didn’t make the list is that we’re going to win it. Such a thing happened last year, when the Democrats ran a left-wing professor against Congressman Wolf.

I am shocked at the amount of money raised in the 6th district. My gut feeling is the VAGOP is going to lose that seat. Besides Norfolk, Northam is originally from the Eastern Shore and has been laying on that pretty heavily, in addition to really piling on Rerras about the abusive driver fees.
