Paula Miller, running for the first time, won the VA Delegate seat vacated by Themla Drake. Thelma Drake won the VA2 Congressional seat after Shrock "retired" after those unfortunate tapes of him arranging for gay sex were revealed.
According to this Virginian Pilot article she won by 92 votes or with 50.51% of the vote.
The district count is located here.
I've just returned from the victory party after standing outside the Granby polls from 5-7pm. Lucky for us Granby Elementary School, where I stood, had a school play today. I was nabbing parents going into the school asking them if they were elegible to vote and if so take a minute out to vote for Paula Miller before they went into the auditorium. I think we got an extra 20 Miller votes from that.
I'm estatic that Paula Miller won. And, I think that I'm pretty lucky that I live in a demoratic city here in Southern Virginia. Norfolk went 63% for Kerry and my Congressional District went 68% for Kerry. Of course I think that Kerry road Bobby Scotts coattails just a little bit there.
The one thing that I would like to emphasize here is that if Norfolk went 63% for Kerry in a heavily military town then we shouldn't give up on the South. We need to organize and fight and take it to the Repubs in the nest election.
