What I said

John Stevens sent out an email today asking for campaign donations.

My response?

John, if you were running for BOS, I'd be giving you money. But you're not. And I'm still pissed at you about that.

Because we all know that he could beat Suzanne Volpe. And yes, Susan Buckley could, too. As could Andrea (probably).

If I ran the circus

A friend asked me, if I could rearrange the Loudoun County BOS races to suit myself, what would my dream ticket be? Caveats: that I cannot change the Republican line up, and that I can't put my husband into any race*.

Now, it so happens that I've thought about exactly this question quite a bit and here is how I would change things, if I could.

1. Burton (I) runs for Chair. Bellanca (D) runs for Blue Ridge. I think this makes both races much more likely to be won by these guys.
2. McGimsey (D) runs for Algonkian, leaving Keirce (I) to sweep Broad Run. Let's face it, Pierce (D) is not going to win against Volpe (R), but McGimsey might have a chance.
3. Dulles. I've got two names in mind. Neither of them is running. That pisses me off. 'Nuff said.
4. I am perfectly satisfied with the candidates in Ashburn and Sterling. You guys make me happy. Keep it up.
5. Leesburg and Catoctin are farther off my beat. I'm sure that the current candidates will do fine.

*I love having him home for dinner most nights. Heck, I love being home for dinner most nights. I'm pretty sure he'll run for something again someday, but it won't be this year or next year.

What does it say

...about Andrea McGimsey's desire for re-election that Denise Moore Pierce, who has been running for all of a weekend, has a website, and Andrea - who announced back in January - does not?
