I am in VA-2, and I’ve met Loyola a couple of times. He’s down to earth, sincere, and definitely not a “politician”. He’s had my support all along.
His biggest problem is Scott Rigell - he has big bucks to throw into the campaign and a lot of name recognition, but I think that his star is going to fade as his flaws are exposed.

I think so too. There are a couple of thousand active tea party members in Hampton Roads...in an off year primary that can be enough to pull off a victory. Rigell’s support for obama, Warner, Louise Lucas and a sales tax increase cancel out any claims to being a conservative. Now all Ben has to do is get that word out.
