I think she’s been targeting addresses that are new move-ins..ie, people who weren’t here to see the crap she pulled 2 years ago.

Meanwhile I just got a piece from “Major” John Bell who is running against Bob Marshall. I guess we are supposed to be impressed by his rank.

Note that there is a disclosure on the piece saying that the mention of his rank does not mean he is endorsed by DoD or the USAF.

That’s a relief.

I’ve received several well done mailings from the Miller folks
(all upbeat about Jackson - nothing negative about Jeanette),
but zip from the Rishell campaign. Two years ago her people
swamped my mailbox but, of course, the expensive and easily
proven false attacks on Jackson’s integrity proved to be a big
mistake and continue to hurt her in 2009.

She’s been mailing her campaign lit to households with no registered voters.

I think I have seen one Rishell sign and one bumper sticker.

You’ve actually seen a Rishell yard sign this cycle? Aside from the one in front if Dexter Fox’s house?

Man, you’re good. I’ve been looking, and they’re harder to find than foxes in the District.

Noticed Jackson Miller’s signs up around Manassas - estimate he
has ten up for every one of Jeanette’s. And who says there is
no diversity in the GOP? Jackson ’s signs are red, Marshal’s are blue -
Jackson has no party ID, Marshal’s note he is Republican - in any
event, they will both win - big.

Anyone know what Luke Torian is spending his campaign cash on in the 52nd Dist., because he has ZERO visibility. Meanwhile, Rafael Lopez has yard signs and 4×8 signs up all throughout the district. I know Greg said this district was leaning towards the Dems because of Torian’s cash advantage, but if he’s blowing his cash on who knows what, don’t rule out Lopez. Right now, Rafael has the edge in visibility.

This race was Jackson’s unless he did something totally crazy-
like join the Taliban or become a cheerleader for Acorn.

The VEA giving its endorsement to Miller was the final turn out
the lights signal for the Rishell campaign. Everyone can
go home - nothing to see here.

“How about the demoncrats like WARNER and MORON who voted to keep funding for ACORN. That other fine demoncrat CONNOLEY didn’t have the gonads to vote one way or the other. ”

Correct on Moran and Connolly. Wrong on Warner. He voted right.

If you think the 50th is a hard GOP district you are wrong. It’s always been a “swing” district. Delegate Miller has worked hard door to door and in Richmond to get results. Hard work and representing his district well will help him win re-election.

for those that think rishell has no chance due to the republican presence here have you even looked at the fact that she is nuts? wouldnt that be a far better reason for her impending loss?

And that, my friends, is why they call it “going to the John”

Fairness is right, historically this area is Republican. If you look at how Jackson Miller runs, he strives to portray himself as a moderate to many voters (I have heard the word moderate from his own mouth), and he does so well, stripping away independent and moderate Democratic votes. It also earned him the VEA endorsement.

The only real reason that Ms. Rishell could lose is due to the fact that this area is demographically predominantly Rebulican; has always been, but could start changing from the Independents and Democrats that are increasing in numbers from recent elections. Not too partisan in these parts, right?

I’ll bet it’s “some Democrats.” PWC Democrats would probably be better advised to help Paul Nichols — as he is at his most vulnerable as a freshman — than waste their time and “filthy lucre” on Rishell. However, I’d be willing to bet that they’ll put a lot of effort in going after Bob Marshall, if for no other reason than he just ticks them off so much.

Go Bob!

Well, in this race I agree with your views and I think your observations here are spot-on. Regardless of who you speak for, or don’t, I think it’s notable that Democrats are admitting that Rishell is a lost cause. You and Ben Tribbett both agree that Rishell doesn’t stand a chance, and to me, that’s noteworthy.

I posted the write-up of House of Delegates races on SSP, and I just want to point out that the views are mine alone and not that of anyone else on that site.

Remember: The demoncraps can’t handle the truth, anon….. you’re liable to cause John to run into a corner and have a little hissy fit……
They know they made the biggest mistake electing the community guy into office and they are totally beside themselves!

The three republinuts running for control of Va would be a travisty for all citizens.

Oh my, republinuts no less. How about the demoncrats like WARNER and MORON who voted to keep funding for ACORN. That other fine demoncrat CONNOLEY didn’t have the gonads to vote one way or the other. He did under his desk until the vote was over. My, my, my!
