Um, Paul Ebert is the Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney, not the Manassas Commissioner of the Revenue. That is John Grzejka, a Republican, and would be a fantastic endorsement.
Posted by Randy Klear | Thursday, December 4, 2008, 5:07 pmI’ve always thought that endorsements don’t necessarily mean much in a race, but even Bowerbank supporters have to admit that Wagner has definitely been winning the endorsement race. It’s also impressive that she seems to be rolling out relatively long lists on a consistent basis.
That being said, I think it’s important to see which campaign has the better ground game in a few months. The field staff and volunteer organization, in my opinion, is more important than the list of endorsements.
Based on the conversations I’ve had with Jon Bowerbank I think he has the ability to really inspire grassroots action. While I haven’t met his new campaign manager, the folks on his team I have met really seem to know what they’re doing. I haven’t met Jody or anyone on her campaign, so I cannot comment on their abilities.
