I understand that the caterers prepared for 7,000 attendees at today’s pig roast, hosted by former governor Mark Warner and his wife, Lisa Collis. I have no idea how many folks were there; let’s just say it was a bunch
Warner took up his normal spot after playing a bit of basketball (and injuring his leg in the process) to shake
hands shortly after I arrived. He was in the same spot when I left – and people were still standing in line. A few feet away, Governor Tim Kaine had his own line of people waiting to shake his hand. Kaine didn’t last as long as Warner, though, and left before I did. It was good to see him so relaxed.
I got a chance to chat with a number of people from around the state. I didn’t get video of all of them, but I got some
Oh, and in case you missed it, Secretary Viola Baskerville was wearing the coolest button there

Great to see you there. It was really a great event–perfect weather, good food, and wall to wall Democrats! What more could you ask for?

I got a ton of shots today. It was so good to see you and everyone else.
Tune in tomorrow over at my place.

All in all a great day and someone needs to teach viv how to pour a beer.

And linda – I’m really not much of a beer drinker, and when I do occasionally have one, it comes in a bottle
