Every time I've stepped over the Big River I've been hit by the "Gary West" phenomenon and now it's starting to hit my In Box too. So far this Democratic candidate for the 94th House district is doing everything right!
Peninsula folks can't stop talking about this guy who hopes to bump off current Republican Delegate Glenn Oder. This includes one Pat Murphy, who in 2007 jumped from the Trisha "Shut Down Public Schools" Stall's campaign feet first into the ultimately successful campaign to elect Democrat John Miller to the Virginia State Senate. Here's Pat's blog post on ol' Mr. Oder, FYI.

We need to strip the gavel away from Speaker Bill "House of No" Howell and hand it over to Delegate Ward Armstrong as House Majority Leader. Six seats need to change hands to accomplish that mightily important fete. Democrats in Northern Virginia have targeted 3 seats that broke for Obama and are currently held by Repugs. Let's add Hampton Roads as a contributor with pick ups in the 94th (Gary West) and 82nd (Peter Schmidt)... both a very real possibility if we work very hard!
