[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beyer was VA's lt. gov. in the 1990s and lost the 1997 governor's race to Jim Gilmore. He won this House race b/c it was a 7-way race and the more liberal candidates split the vote. He is a decent enough guy but is as establishment as they come. Given this is a safe seat, its holder should be a progressive leader. We can do better.[/quote] There are a helluva lot of pro establishment Dems in the 8th, and some of the folks I know who liked one of the more prog candidates did it because they liked that particular candidate and would have voted Beyer as a 2nd choice (also its amusing that you consider Euille a progresive candidate, since in Alex he was often denounced for being close to developers - a charge I found unfair, but then I am pretty 'establishment' myself) [/quote]
