Plum along with Hudgins wants to keep Reston 'on the plantation' as a cash cow for Fairfax.

Glad to see I am not the only one who thinks that politicans manufacture crisis's to score political points!

Whatever one's opinion of Ken Plum, glad to see we at last have a competitive race that keeps the democratic process alive. If I wanted to live in a one-party state, I'd move to North Korea (much as I prefer Reston's Dear Leader to their Dear Leader).

Let's not forget, we ALL voted for Tom Davis(a Republican, BiCo).

BiCo: (I do like that abbreviation) -- relax, you're just coming over the dark side. But we're very nice, mostly civil and we serve great food.

Here is a link to the Channel 28 Plum/Cannon debate. It takes about 33 seconds to start up. http://vimeo.com/6907364

BiCO: Not to worry! I pretty much always vote for democrats in national elections, and lately republicans in local elections. Our local republicans tend to be moderates (and usually run on the idea of keeping some tax money in NoVA).

And I will never, ever vote for Cathy Hudgins OR Jim Moran.

Broke in Charter Oak:

Nah. You're still a Democrat. You're living in contemporary Reston, a world apart. Sometimes we vote for Republicans. It's an innate preservation instinct. Can't be helped.

Hmmmmm. In 2005, Plum lost 20% of the vote to a one-issue (guns) independent. Plum is an only-criminals-may-have-guns liberal. Ducks Unlimited association means that Cannon has 2nd amendment cred, and real-world environmental chops as well. That beats Plum's speech on earth-day, but vote for the developers record. I bet Plum is actually vulnerable.

Now if only whatever is left of the Republican party would run someone against Hudgins.

Vote Libertarian.

What on Earth is happening to me? When I still lived back North I found myself subconsciously siding with the Democratic party almost autonomously, but since I've moved to the South (or the Quasi-South anyways) I find myself supporting Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell over his Democratic challenger Creigh Deeds AND being impressed by this newcomer, Mr. Cannon, as well. Can I really be a closet Republican?! :-)
