Elephant Ears

This blog is dedicated to the political happenings in the Valley and Southwest Virginia. As the the name implies, this blog will have posts based on what is heard by this elephant's (GOPer's) ears. It is also a great treat to get while at the county fair or a carnival.

Primary Day

Let us know whats goin on in the primary races.

What is everyone hearing?

UPDATE: The 27th race is experiencing staggeringly low turnout. Tate may still have a chance here (although Jill is probably still in a good position).
The race in the 24th has pretty high turnout, which should favor Hanger. It appears alot of people are calling it for him.
The race in the 22nd looks like it will end at around 7% districtwide, with the heavier turnout in the Roanoke Valley. Here again, the higher turnout should help Bell.
The word in the 12th is that the Massie votes should give Blackburn an edge. We will see how it shakes out.

    Hanger is safe- per only the good Lord's fine weather he so graciously bestowed on our Senator.

    Question; When is young Del. Cline finally going to stop taking political and legislative advice from Del. Chris Saxman? That boy is being brought down by his close affiliation and blindly followin of him.

    Another question; How can Saxman work two years ago for a moderate like that Connaughton from North Virginia, then turnaround this year and endorse a conservative Scott Sayre?

    Must be those strong political winds I hear them talk about on Fox News. Someone could toss a good man like George Allen in there, and come to the outcome that Del. Saxman is 0-3 of recent.

    Saxman and Cline were both neutral in this race. And Cline supported Bolling in 05.

    Heavy turnout in Augusta + light turnout in Albemarle/Green = likely Hanger victory.
