From my readings, there are at least 5 Republicans who have stated an interest in challenging Perriello, or have filed the proper paperwork. Bradley Rees was first, and, I was so dissapointed, however, Goode had not yet made up his mind if he would challenge again in 2010. I had an immediate problem with Rees as I am not a supporter of the “Fair Tax” which was his impeteous to get into the race. Awful as it is for me to say, I can’t wrap my arms around someone who has all his knuckles tattoed. He recently was arrested for having unregistered or unauthorized guns in his vehicle. Ken Boyd declared himself a candidate on September 19, yet he has no website, you cannot find any information on his positions, and well, you just can’t find much of any info on him. As to Robert Hurt, I can’t find alot of info on him either. Moe’s link just provides a website that states only that he is running against Perriello, and, not another thing.

Perriello is so beatable, yet, in the whole of the district, the Republicans can’t find someone who can challenge him that has any chance? Do you have anymore info on the R candidates?

It was a delayed general, the primary run-off was Nov. 3 due to Hurricane Gustav, but thats not important. The important thing is David Harmer’s poll showing him down by only 6pts, and leading among people who have actually heard of him. http://www.ibabuzz.com/politics/2009/10/01/harmer-says-poll-shows-him-ahead-of-garamendi/

if we have good Republican turnout and we’re going to work on that.

If an R wins CA-10, it would signal that the D’s will lose 100 seats (and maybe more) next year.

I’d like to believe that, but I don’t.

What’s much more likely is that the D’s still win CA-10, but with a reduced margin of something like 52%D/48% R. That, in and of itself, while not a true “win”, would have to be considered something of a “moral victory”.

not CA10
