OK, so Monday is another tax filing deadline and I’m more than a bit under so this will be quick.
The candidates’ forum held in Bayview Wednesday night was a good opportunity for folks in the 87th House District and 6th Senate District to hear the candidates. The questions were provided to the candidates in advance so there were no real surprises. I’ll have more on this next week.
==============
The Kiwanis Harbor Party yesterday afternoon was a lot of fun and the seafood was superb. Most of the candidates were there. They were given an opportunity to make a brief statement. I saw a lot of folks I hadn’t seen in a while.
==============
Last night’s candidates forum at ODU was a good one, too. It was the first time I had heard some of the candidates speak. Ten candidates from Hampton Roads participated, representing the 78th, 82nd, and 21st House districts, plus the 6th and 13th Senate districts. Again, I’ll have more on this next week.
==============
I see that Bill Bolling has removed himself from consideration for the Republican nomination for the soon-to-be-held special election in the 1st Congressional District. Bolling issued a statement this morning, which said in part:
Given the importance of the position I currently hold at this critical time in Virginia history, it would not be appropriate for me to consider running for any other political office.

CNU has released a poll. The link for it can be found here. Rasmussen has a poll, too. Check out the commentary on that here.
