   From what I’ve heard, the 91st is one of the most conservative districts in the state, so any chance of a Democratic victory would be very slim. After all, back in 2009, Gear (R) got first, Helsel (I) got second, and Eure (D) placed a distant third. I guess the Democrats couldn’t find anyone willing to ante up for the very long shot prospect.

   Congrats to Helsel for his win!

   Even though he is really a Democrat at heart, Helsel has an amazing turnout machine. It’s not his fault that anybody can vote in a Republican primary; he just played by the rules that govern the election. I admire his skills and congratulate him. I hear he’s a nice guy, though anyone being truthful knows that a politician supported by the money and votes of the IBEW and the Eastern Virginia Labor Federation is no conservative.
   That being said, at least we have a nice man who ran a clean campaign. As we all saw from the mailouts last weekend, we could have ended up with the group who ran that sinister campaign.

   I was very favorably impressed with Mayor Helsel’s actions while serving he was serving on the now defunct unconstitutional HRTA (Hampton Roads Transportation Authority). I believe he will fit well in Delegate Tom Gear’s shoes. I really liked Tom Gear.
