Virginia Republicans Go to the Polls!

The first strides of the 2010 elections are here, the Republican Primary is tomorrow, June 8th, in the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th congressional districts of Virginia.

Top to watch is the Republican Primary in the 5th District. State Senator Robert Hurt is the definite front runner in the race, however should he win the primary, Tea Party candidate Jeff Clark will enter the race as a Conservative Tea Party Independent. This could cause a split conservative vote in November and hand a second term to Congressman Perriello, a Democrat. Clark has said that if Hurt loses, he too will sit out the race.

This primary will test the steel of the Tea Party and should speak volumes to the Republican establishment about the need to get back to the Conservative Principles this country was founded on.

  1. Tom Perriello has voted against the interests of not just his 5th CD constituents, but against the ideals of Americans. Stimulus? cap 'n trade? obamacare? these are just a few anti-capitalism, anti-American bills Perriello supports.

    defeat him. Stop with the ticket-splitting talk & work to defeat Perriello. Together we can do it.
