Fimian's great challenge will be to run apart from, if not away from, President Bush, Davis says. "What's happening across the country is a reaction against Bush," he says. And Davis says Fimian will lack the key advantage that let Davis keep winning by healthy margins in an increasingly Democratic district: "The thing that I had that Keith won't is the deep support among federal employees. That's the result of years and years of work on their behalf." But Davis adds that Fimian has an advantage of his own: "He's much better looking than I am."
Keith Fimian (who was apparently a stunt double for David Hasselhoff on Baywatch) is better looking than his Democratic opponent Gerry Connolly as well... but Connolly has a strong progressive record as Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and more than a decade in public service while Fimian is an extreme right wing multi-millionare who has never been elected to office... What a Tough Choice!
The DINO running to replace Mr. Davis is not exactly Mr. Sunshine when it comes to government ethics and accountability.
