Vivian reported yesterday that Bill Day was the THIRD Democratic challenger to be selected in the 1st Congressional District to face the Republican incumbent Rep. Rob Wittman.

BVBL, Riley and DJ wasted little time in providing their assessment of the choice.

Since Keith Hummel’s unexpected departure from the 1st District congressional race, Rep. Rob Wittman (R-1) does not have an announced Democratic opponent. But that isn’t stopping Wittman from doing all the necessary things campaigns should do.

According to his campaign manager, Casey Werderman, Wittman’s campaign now has three headquarters that are fully operational, he’s still campaigning (such as at the Caroline County Fair this past weekend - pictured), and his staff is “geared up and ready to go.”

A few weeks back, Rep. J. Randy Forbes (R-VA04) proposed a bold new initiative to reshape the energy discussion with his “New Manhattan Project.” The visionary plan seeks to incentivize innovation when it comes to increasing our energy independence.

The plan has all the makings of applying traditional American know-how and free-market principles to an energy debate that often has lacked both.
