I guess this post is a little silly given that
1.The election is almost a year away
2.Russ Potts hasn't even decided if he's going to run
From what I've read, the Democrats plan to go after the almost certain Republican nominee Jerry Kilgore as being a right wing extremist, and the Republicans plan to go after almost certain Democratic nominee Tim Kaine as a liberal extremist.
Mr. Potts is a Republican state senator who backed Governor Warner's tax hikes. If he runs as an independent in the general election, any chance he would come up the middle? if not, who is he more likely to take votes from?
