My state senator here in northern Virgina, Jeremy McPike, owes everything to Michael Bloomberg; Bloomberg invested at least $2,000,000 in his race (the 29th VA senate district, which encompasses about 200,000 people).
McPike is a total non-entity; just a garden variety Marxist zombie. However, the Bloomberg money swamped Manassas Mayor Hal Parrish.
Sad.
