Evidently, I was mistaken. I wonder why the good Senator has now opened fire? After all I am not running against him, in fact he has no challenger in the Senate race. The fact is, he is running his 20 year old daughter against me. Does anyone doubt that he wants to have a vote in the House of Delegates that he can control? By the way, the S
