When I first heard that Senator Nick Rerras had appropriated the blue crab of challenger Ralph Northam, I needed to see it for myself. Because I live the 6th, I get Rerras’ mailings all the time. However, since this dinner was being held on the Eastern Shore, I didn’t get the invitation. So I asked around and finally got my hands on a copy, albeit not in color. But others saw the original and were as outraged as I.
Rerras has represented the district since 1999 and I’ve lived here the whole time. I can’t ever remember him using the blue crab as a part of his logo.
Ralph, on the other hand, has used the logo since the beginning of his campaign and it is prominently displayed on his website. And, after all, Ralph is from the Eastern Shore. The blue crab choice as a logo for him is a natural one.
Rerras’ taking of the logo is inexcusable, even if it is not unexpected. After all, he’s claiming credit for Virginia being named the best managed state. Whatcha wanna bet Mark Warner & Tim Kaine might disagree with him on that?
