Those who have the gold make the rules.  This is why we have the best politicians that money can buy.  Go ask Eric's buddy Gerry Connolly about how that works.

It's time to spend it.

...supporting Chap!  Especially Boss Connolly.  What is wrong with this picture?

....is right.

...until we vote out Gerry Connolly.  "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."  Vote for Gary Baise and destroy the Connolly Machine.  We can easily take care of the Republicans later.

Baise is just as crooked, and he a Republican.  No thanks.

The time to deal with Connolly (and any other unwanted incumbents) was six months ago during Primary season.

But not to worry, local primary season will kick into gear again next spring. 

just arrived at my door today. It is a very effect response to JMDD's cesspool--- this one sets the record straight on ETHICS with devastating thoroughness. Cap's mailer is a large postcard with no fancy graphics, simply plain text rather like a popularized style of lawyer's brief, and it works. What a contrast to his opponents' (I use the plural advisedly, since Chap has two opponents, the dynamic political cuo of Jeannemarie and Tom).

Only problem: it's not a television ad, so the lazy semi-literate who only watches television will not be reached. On the other hand, maybe the news anchor on television could make a story out of Chap's response to the nasty republican ads, drawing a contrast....?

The lazy, semi-literate who only watch TV either won't vote, or if they do, they go in the pull the lever they have pulled since birth, the lever their parents pulled before them.  Those people aren't changing their vote regardless who is floated as their candidate.

History lesson

Even as the bombs were falling on Berlin in 1945, Hitler had  over 10% support.
There will always be  folks who are just wrongheaded.

I call them republicans

Lets face it, Jeannemarie's fund rasing advantage has been known since the beginning of the year so it is not surprising that she is spending it on television ads.  Chap just hasn't been able to compete on par with her.

My question is - when is Governor Kaine's PAC going to kick in with the money he raised to assist our candidates?  How about Gov., Warner's pac?  Time is a wasting here. 

Moving Virginia Forward gave Chap $50,000 on 9/15 and One Virginia gave him $30,000 on 9/7.  Kaine's PAC has donated over $1.2 million so far this cycle and Warner's PAC has give over $500,000.

Which donation will help Chap Peterson's campaign the most quickly--this link or the previous diary?

You can't miss her commercials if you watch the 6:00 news, and if I hear it one more time I will scream. 

I'd recommend giving directly to his campaign right away.  Thanks.

Please, everyone else do what you can.  This isn't even my district, but I think it's the most significant race for the Senate and is the #1 race I want to see go blue.

As someone who lives in the 34th Senate district, I'm very grateful for support for Chap from outside the district. I'm optimistic that we will both get to see what we want: Chap elected to be my State Senator!
