  1. And, he’s also a Norfolk resident. So, no Virginia Beach advantage this go-around…not that it has been.

    As I said in my podcast…do you think anyone really cares about Pickett’s endorsement?

    Gee, I wonder who Whitehurst will endorse?

  2. Will he buy him beer and tickets to an R rated movie?

    ok, cheap shot, but after seeing him on WVEC’s ON THE RECORD, he sure acts a lot younger than he is!

    He may want to invest in a media consultant.

  3. Yeah, Media consultant, that’s the ticket. If the Republicans were smart, real smart, they’d hire Brian Kirwin to be his “media consultant”. Look what he did for Marty Williams and John Welch. Yeah, media consultant, that’s the ticket!
