Although most conventional wisdom rates Gerald E. Connolly of Fairfax County as the safest of three freshmen Democrats elected to Congress in Virginia last year, that wisdom rests on a rematch with Republican Keith S. Fimian in next year's midterm elections.

I guess they are getting scared that Fimian can beat him, so the WP is trying to stir up a primary controversy with Herrity.

Fimian didn’t do badly last year against Connally, when Fimian was an unknown and Connally already had full name recognition as the chair of the Fairfax board.

Since then, Connally has not done well for any part of his district not being liberal democrats in Fairfax, and his district which went heavily for Obama just went for McDonnell.

Connally is a lockstep vote for Obama, and it’s hurting him. It will be tough to beat him, but he’s MY congressman now, and almost makes me long for the days of Tom Davis.
