Why could Davis do this? Just curious...

The truth is that my Congressman Tom Davis has a very long history of endorsing Democrap candidates, campaigning for them and contributing to their campaigns. The worst incidence of this was when he endorsed, contributed to and campaigned against the Democrap candidate for Lt. Governor (by the name of Beyer I believe) in 1993, who subsequently won and ran against Gilmore for Governor in 1997. Davis later worked to encourage a third party candidate to defeat Ollie North for Senate in 1994 resulting in the re-election of Chuckie Robb to the US Senate. I raised these concerns about Davis' appointment to be HRCC chair with House Majority Leader Dick Armey at a meeting at Congress in July 1999. Armey assured me that Davis did not have the final say in HRCC contributions so he could not give any HRCC money to liberal pro-abortion Republican primary and general election House candidates without the prior approval of the House GOP leadership.

I think you mean he campainged for Don Beyer. Beyer was the incumbent and was challenged by conservative Republican Michael Ferris. A lot of the "rank-and-file" GOP abandoned Ferris because they thought he was too conservative. Even at that, it was a close race for Lt. Governor (George Allen won in a landslide).

No, that was John Warner. I lived in Davis' Congressional District during these years and remember the instances quite well. John Warner was the traitor who opposed Farris and North.

Davis supported Oliver North and definitely didn't support Beyer. Remember that Davis in 1993 was plotting a run for Congress in 1994, so no way would he have endorsed a Democrat for office just 1 year before that.
