[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get to complain about MY district rep, who happens to be comstock, not holding town halls.

Or meeting with people in person after repeated requests.

If Dems are pulling the same, then that is a shame.  And I will support their constituents in demanding to be heard.[/quote]

I know people who voted HRC and Comstock in NOVA.  And to a person, they said that she was very responsive and active in her district and appeared for everything. She was very vulnerable this year-- in fact was cited in new reports as one of the most vulnerable incumbents in the nation. Hence the fact that everyone in the DMV was tired of the Comstock Bennett ads.  She will be more vulnerable in 2 years, because of the demographics of her district.  It is half NOVA (western Fairfax and Loudoun and half ROVA-- gerrymandered to force part of NOVA into a safe R district). Except the growth in the NOVA part has exploded, while the ROVA part has not.  So each election, her district gets al little more blue. She does not have the luxury of pretending that her district is a safely red and saying screw you to the left.  If the moderate Dems in NOVA who voted for her turn on her, she's gone.  She may be gone even if they don't. [/quote]
