The Virginian Pilot's endorsement of Dr. Ralph Northam for state senate in the 6th district is an extremely strong one, particularly in contrast to Nick "Feminazis and Demons" Rerras, whose "thin record of accomplishment, vital parts of which were inflated for his re-election."  If there a more lopsided race in the Commonwealth this year in terms of qualifications, it's hard to find it.  Here's the Pilot on Northam:

The good doctor would bring wisdom and expertise to the General Assembly as it makes difficult health care trade-offs between cost, quality and access. For Accomack and Northampton counties, which are isolated and misunderstood, Northam holds special appeal because he is one their own. That gives him unique appreciation for the way Chesapeake Bay restoration programs, immigration policies and agricultural economics can help or harm fragile Shore communities.

For Norfolk, Northam would fill a void, giving it once again a persuasive voice in the affairs of the commonwealth.

I urge you to read the entire endorsement and to vote for Dr. Ralph Northam on November 6!  Thanks.

It's a shame... (Johnny Longtorso - 10/27/2007 8:54:17 AM)
they endorsed the asleep-at-the-wheel Fred Quayle and wingnut John Cosgrove over Steve Heretick and Mick Meyer. Heretick, especially, since he seems to have the momentum in the race. I was out in Isle of Wight County the other day and I saw a few Heretick signs -- but no Quayle signs. Isn't that the most Republican part of the 13th district?


Yeah, newspapers are funny (Lowell - 10/27/2007 8:55:34 AM)
I still can't figure out the Washington Post's bizarre endorsement of the ethically challenged, far-right-wing Jill Holtzman Vogel.  Maybe the Post and Moonie Times switched editorial boards that day?  :)


Here's my favorite part... (elevandoski - 10/27/2007 11:22:50 AM)
On Nov. 6, voters in the 6th Senate District have a chance to trade up, and we urge the election of Ralph Northam. He's a highly regarded pediatrician at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters and has excelled at everything he has tried, a record that points to his prospects in Richmond.

Sitting bedside with so many frightened parents has provided him the tools to speak directly about even the most sensitive things, a rare quality in an office-seeker.
