Tomorrow at noon, the PilotOnline will post the results of the latest Mason Dixon poll on the 2nd Congressional District race. So - what do you think it will be? My guess: Kellam 49%, Drake 47%, within the MOE of +/- 4%.

Wilder to endorse Webb
According to the RTD, former governor and current Richmond mayor Doug Wilder will endorse Jim Webb this afternoon. I expect this will help Webb in the Richmond area, where he trails Allen, according to the latest polls. Outside of Richmond, I don't know how much effect Wilder's endorsement will have. Do such endorsements affect your … Continue reading Wilder to endorse Webb
Ohio Atty: Learn from us and Vote NO!
So says Ohio Legal Aid attorney Alexandria Ruden: Unlike Ohio, Virginia voters have been alerted to the very serious adverse potential consequences of this proposed amendment well before the election. Our voters didn’t have adequate time to get fully informed before they voted. The consequence has been that police, prosecutors and victims have been in … Continue reading Ohio Atty: Learn from us and Vote NO!
Pilot endorses Drake
As I predicted, the Virginian-Pilot has endorsed incumbent Republican Congresswoman Thelma Drake in the 2nd Congressional District race over Democratic challenger Phil Kellam. Essentially, this endorsement reflects what I said yesterday: Kellam has not answered the question of why voters should hire him. Kellam has just not made a compelling case to replace Drake. I … Continue reading Pilot endorses Drake
Expected Virginian-Pilot endorsements: Webb & Drake
This morning's Pilot editorial explains how they make endorsements: We treat an endorsement like a hiring process: We study a candidate’s background and job performance; check references and public records; and conduct an extensive interview. The close questioning in these interviews gives us a chance to get to know the candidates in a way voters … Continue reading Expected Virginian-Pilot endorsements: Webb & Drake

In a poll of 625 registered voters, PilotOnline is reporting that George Allen leads Jim Webb 47% to 43%. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 4%. I don't know what's up with Mason-Dixon using registered voters as opposed to likely voters. In any event, I just got polled by M-D in the … Continue reading M-D: Allen 47%, Webb 43%
A little Spruill, Webb & Kellam for breakfast
I headed out bright and early this morning to Delegate Lionell Spruill's pancake breakfast in Chesapeake. I got there a little after eight and there was a good crowd, including a number of folks wearing Webb T-shirts. Jim Webb and his wife were there, along with Phil Kellam. I sat with Phil and chatted for … Continue reading A little Spruill, Webb & Kellam for breakfast
Live blog followup
First of all, thanks to Rep. Thelma Drake for joining us in the blogsphere for a live session earlier today. I think it is wonderful that our representatives embrace this medium as a way of interacting with constituents. Secondly, I have to admit that I was a bit surprised that Rep. Drake answered as many … Continue reading Live blog followup
Algie Howell fundraiser
I attended a fundraiser for Delegate Algie Howell (90th) this evening. Elected officials in attendance were Delegates Kenny Alexander (89th), Ken Melvin (80th), Paula Miller (87th) and House Minority Leader Frank Hall (69th), along with Mayors Paul Fraim (Norfolk) and Meyera Oberndorf (Virginia Beach). I thought this was a good turnout, given that the NAACP … Continue reading Algie Howell fundraiser
