To some, he's a principled old-line Republican who speaks the truth.

To others, he's an unprincipled old-line Republican who'll ruin the GOP's chances of recapturing the office of Governor.

I live far from Virginia - though I have travelled extensively thru most part of it.

Regardless of whether you like Potts or not, this is a good article.

So...Virginia Freepers (and anyone else for that matter), what do you think about the article?

I like what I've seen of Potts, much moreso than Kilgore, too bad he's not the nominee.

Who is H. Russell Potts?

He is a back-stabbing RINO. Winchester, VA and the Old Dominion's GOP deserve better.

Not a bad article, and thank God he won't run for the Senate again.

But, as a candidate and former Republican, he's a spoiled brat.

He's a girly man ---- he wells up in tears more than Gov. Blanco.

Potts is a RINO who is angry that he could not win the primary, so he decided to run as an independent. His platform is a one liner -- raise taxes. In Virginia, a state that has amassed a surplus of over $1Billion, that message is not resounding with too many voters. Potts is emotional without providing any depth.
I doubt Potts will seriously hurt Kilgore's chances. If anything, he will likely take some of the liberal votes in Northern Virginia away from Kaine. The two liberal counties that make up the Washington DC suburbs will like his "government will solve all your problems" approach, especially his promise to tax the rest of the State to solve the liberal counties' traffic problems.
