BREAKING: Dave Nutter's Growing Nightmare

It's not that things have been all that great for him.  It's a real case of DWBD (driving while being Dave, or DWBR--driving while being Republican).  That means that while driving, or doing anything else with too much thinking time on their hands, Republicans just can't help themselves.  They spend their time thinking of new ways to obstruct Tim Kaine.  And they'll do it even when doing so makes no sense.

It wasn't always that way. But Morgan Griffith made him "stand in the corner," as some in Richmond like to joke.  Dave's support of the Warner budget got him in real trouble.  In the Virginia House, it's not cool to vote with a Dem, even if doing that would be the best thing for Virginia.  

But there is more, much more... (For the news, follow me below the fold.)

And come to think of it, there's a great election campaign issue there (and lots more where that comes from).  Too bad he doesn't have any opposition.  But wait!  His nightmare is likely to grow a lot worse.  

I have it on very good authority, as in from the potential candidate herself, that Dave's probably going to have opposition.  Peggy Frank came within 5% of matching Dave at the polls on her very first run for public office.  She did so well, in fact, that, when election results came in from across the state, folks in NOVA were heard to say, "Who is that Peggy Frank?"  They won't be asking that question again.

I'll be blogging much more about Peggy, who she is, and where she stands, when she makes the final decision.  I suspect you'll even want to help her out.  Look for an announcement before the the end of April.  But it sure looks like  we're going to have a contest.  

Sweet dreams, Dave.  As for me, I'm gonna sleep a whole lot better tonight!  And I hope you, dear reader, will too. November is beginning to look one race better.
