VA-Attorney General

Last night I attended an event which gave a very interesting perspective on the three statewide races in Virginia, for Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General. It was a campaign kickoff for Jay Fisette for a fourth term on Arlington County Board. There is no doubt Jay will be reelected - he has no Republican opponent. There is a Green candidate running against him, which seem foolhardy given that during Jay's term as the immediate past president of the Virginia Municipal League he lead the effort to create the Go Green Virginia Initiative Arlington also has a large gay population, and Jay, when elected in 1997, was Virginia's first openly gay elected official (Arlington has since elected several more, to school board and to the state's General Assembly).
So why did all three statewide candidates come to this event? And what does that tell us about forthcoming statewide races?
