Connolly has 1.5 mil in the bank. If a resourceful blogger can pull this out about Fimian, imagine the OR (Opposition Research) Connolly has on him. I suspect Connolly kept his powder dry in ‘08 because he really didn’t need to go after Fimian. Obama carried the district for him.
My personal theory is that Connolly will have a running mate - Virginia’s former part time Governor. If the democrats look like they’re about to lose 4 seats in the Commonwealth, you better believe Kaine will go all in for Connolly. After ‘09, Kaine doesn’t want to join that crowded space under Obama’s bus.
The best legitimate chance to end the reign of fiscal terror Connolly has beset our county with lo these many years comes this November. Fimian’s scrapping for a political name for himself because he started (um - jury is out on that - he is going to get nailed on it...not as juicy as video of ex-Senators nicking campaign lit from country stores, but still...)his inspection company in his garage?
Pat Herrity won in an incredible D favoring climate and had one hell of a mess to clean up...he knows how to work the back of the Connolly parade and scoop of that, well, you know.
