Virginia's 11th District: Hurst (D) ad taking on Tom Davis
Edited on Tue Oct-24-06 04:18 PM by onenote
No question that Andy Hurst has an uphill struggle against Tom Davis, who has parlayed constituent service and his original reputation as a relatively "good government", moderate repub into substantial cross-over strength in a district that is fairly evenly split (or even marginally Democratic), even though Tom has clearly jumped the shark and no longer deserves his reputation as a moderate.

Whether Andy can pull off the upset is a question, but he's making a better run at than anyone has in years (in 2004, Kerry and Bush each got 49% of the vote in the district, while Davis trounced his Democratic opposition by a 60-39 percent margin).

Andy has an ad that he's going to start running on TV that could really give him a boost with those that don't know him and don't know Davis' real record.

You can see the ad at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kx5ZsURa20

1. Minor Correction...this is the 11th district....the 10th also has a tight
Race...Judy Feder vs. Frank Wolf...

This is my sleeper special as a matter of fact!

Feder is running a great campaign against a long entrenched Republican representing an increasingly blue district!
