Ping to good news!
Perhaps your gal Jamie can take this seat.
What do you think about her compared to other Conservatives that may enter the race?
Radtke is a Tea Party activist leader from Richmond who organized the various local tea-parties into a state wide federation of Tea Parties before stepping down to run for the US senate. In Q4 she raised over 100k, and has continued to raise signifigant amounts of money toward her election. She has been very critical of George Allen who is the other declared candidate and who (imo) is too closely tied to the Republican establishment.
AFAIK the only other conservative considering the race is Corey Stewart who is a county level GOP chairman. Radtke looks like the real deal. She has been embraced by the Tea Party Caucus in DC and my expectation is that she'll get backed by De Mint's Senate conservative fund as well as Tea Party Express.
Go Jamie!
