...well, a couple of them.

My rep, Bill Faison, is jumping in the race. I've corresponded quite a bit with him and find him really fair-minded. He's totally against Amendment One and has listened to my concerns. I like his answers. He won't work against us.

Two, now that there are several big reasons for Dems to turn out for the primaries, there will likely be more votes against Amendment One. My big worry was that Dems wouldn't turn out, but with such a shake-up (Brad Miller not running at all, Gov Perdue stepping down, Rep Faison running for gov, etc) getting more Dems to the polls could be a good thing for us.

I'm not panicking as much about Amendment One as I was with all these recent developments in mind.
