Oct 2013

got 38% of the vote against Cantor in 2012, with NO money from the national Dem party. That was pretty damn good IMHO, and I hope Cantor's next challenger at least gets some money to allow him to fight. It was a shame that Powell got no help. I have always wondered why he didn't get any help -- are dems also in tobacco's pockets?
