That’s right, Vivian. Only use the information you like. Ignore information that disproves your view. Good reporting!

Wrong again, Brian. If Sessoms and Davis are so much alike, how is it that Sessoms lost in about 75% of the precincts in the city while Davis won in about 90% of them?

And yeah, the Republicans then ended up with three candidates instead of only one. I guess the other two siphoned off some votes.

“Inside each bag: campaign authorized sample ballots w/ the Va Pilot endorsement, Sessoms stickers for the poll workers to wear, a list of election day “do’s and don’ts” rules from the SBE & my contact info if anyone needed anything.”

“At that point I called all the precinct captains to make them aware of the flyer and to remind/instruct all the volunteers that we were only to pass out our materials & they could verify this with the paid for by Will Sessoms clearly stated.”

Sessoms got a huge chunk of money from special interests, this flier was apparently designed and distributed by paid campaign workers/consultants. I am not saying Sessoms knew about it or ordered it, but someone working on his behalf surely did. Guilt by association is more than applicable when it comes to an election and running a city.

Even if it did not sway peoples votes, which judging by your standards it should have (you compare two white guys and two white girls and said a correlation begets a fact…), it still is a crime because they were not stamped with a “paid for by” and they were clearly partisan and designed to influence peoples votes by less than intellectual means.

Sessoms would have won with or without those flyers, this is true, so why did someone in his campaign feel the need to create them and pass them out? If your volunteers were all so stoked on Sessoms you would think they would have refused to give the fliers out like one worker was reported to have done…I am referring to the ones who drove the fliers to campaign workers to hand them out, not so much the actual people who handed them out. There were clearly numerous people who had to have had these fliers in their possession in order to account for the pattern of distribution. Where were these people saying no this is wrong and illegal?

The Pilot endorsed Glenn Nye for Congress, Mark Warner for Senate, Sessoms for Mayor, Wilson for Council, Glenn Davis for Council.

Do Vivian and Eileen think the Pilot endorsements were due to the flier too?

Plus if you compare Sessoms’ race to that of another white Republican businessman, you’ll see the flier had no impact on the race outcome.

Wow! Brilliant argument there.
