Not so simple if we have a conservative independent in the mix, as noted above.
Hurt voted for a tax hike in the leg. Taxes are a tip top issue for me so I’m highly displeased over that. Unfortunately there are a lot of Republicans voting for tax hikes on the state level.
But I don’t want to see Perriello reelected with 45% of the vote.
Hurt will vote at least 80-85% conservative if he wins. He’s hardly Dede Scuzzobama or Mark Kirk. If he’s disappointing in Washington he can be removed in the next primary.
