I have heard a lot of horrible things about the Cypress Creek Power Plant recently and want to say that I believe this is a good source of jobs and infrastructure to a region that needs it badly. The data from the report by the CBF was false and was on old data and not a atually scientific research. Go ODEC!

In Re: Hurt v. Periello I saw this blurb earlier today. Sometimes it is not always the money that counts, it’s the actual candidate. That being said, I would be more comfortable if Hurt had more cash on hand to maintain this lead.

“A new SurveyUSA poll in Virginia’s 5th congressional district shows Robert Hurt (R) beating Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA) by a huge margin, 58% to 35%.

Perriello barely beat 6-term Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA) in 2008 and now trails among most demographic groups”

Boucher wins with between 55 and 58 percent of the vote. $$$ to Griffith are $$$ wasted for the GOP. If they are to have any hope of beating Periello, the $$$$ need to flow to Hurt. I hope GOP donors don’t wake up the day after the election to see Boucher 58 Griffith 42 and Periello 50.5 and Hurt 49.5. Talk about a waste. I didn’t think Hurt would do so poorly in raising funds, but the national money just hasn’t flowed to him like it has to other GOPers in other states.

Mr Watson Perriello has almost 2 million cash on hand so Hurt’s $300,000 is chump change if Hurt even had that much which he doesn’t.Kelley for months you claimed Hurt was the candidate that could really bring the cash in.Well where is it ? Perriello is on tv everyday I have yet to see even one tv ad for Hurt.

greg: if Boucher can’t break 50% in a poll,isn’t that bad news for him, the incumbent with the wind of Obama at his back?

I’ll make a prediction re: the 9th – the first legit independent poll to be released will put both candidates in the 40s. Won’t be good news for Boucher.

@will, I do believe Robert Hurt has raised close to a 3/4 million dollars and has close to 300,000 on hand.

If we didn’t have a fight on our hands here in the 5th, trying to elect Robert Hurt & unseat Perriello, we’d be helping out in the 9th.

Morgan Griffith, we’re pulling for you.
