I hope that Griffith wins this. Will Democrats make an issue of the fact that he lives slightly outside the district?
His opponent is not Rick Boucher. LOL. This is a primary.
Griffith’s problem is that he lives outside the 9th District and has NO connection to coal country, which will not fly in SWVA.
Mr. Griffith is not a sure thing by a long shot. Our district is speaking loudly that they want a grass roots Republican and they have found one with a depth of knowledge on the issues facing the 9th district and these United States. We are tired of career politicians. We are for term limits with good reason. Power and greed are strong motivators and are inherent risks when someone is allowed to serve indefinitely. Look at Pelosi and Rick Boucher and tell me I’m wrong. Our founding fathers understood this principle and so do we. Don’t just take my word for it. Take a look at this man

and listen to him speak if at all possible. Then maybe you’ll understand why he is gaining the support of Republican delegates and the people of the 9th district. All of the candidates will be speaking between 11am and 1pm in Bluefield Va.(most likely speaking time will be noon) during the tax day protests at Jack Asbury park. Take your lunch hour and make an effort to attend and decide for yourself who you want to represent you in Washington D.C. Dave will try and speak at all of the 9th district protests but will be in Bluefield for sure.
Governor McDonnell won every single county in the 9th District back in November.
This is extremely bad news. Party hack and professional politician Griffith lives outside the 9th District, has NO connection to coal country, mining families could care less about him, and Boucher will eat him alive.
The VA GOP is its own worst enemy, and needs to dump the good ol’ boy conventions in favor of direct closed primaries.
Bah!
