The National Republican Congressional Committee will start airing ads this week against 28-year incumbent Rick Boucher in Virginia’s Fightin’ Ninth. [CQPolitics.]
Boucher has long been safe in the 9th, but his key role in drafting Cap and Trade legislation may be eroding his support among the coal counties.
Earlier this month Bearing Drift reported that a SurveyUSA Poll showed Boucher leading Delegate Morgan Griffith by a 10 pt. margin.
Seems like the NRCC has about 82,000 reasons to believe Griffith is closing the gap.
