[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eileen Filler-Corn comes out for Salim:  [url]https://bluevirginia.us/2023/05/former-va-speaker-eileen-filler-corn-endorses-saddam-salim-in-senate-district-37-primary[/url].  I guess this a endorsement largely influenced by Chap's positions on gun-related legislation.  I think Chap may be in trouble.  I suppose we'll see.[/quote]

Filler-Corn?  Isn't she the one the Democrats tossed aside after she handed the House of Delegates to the Republicans?  [/quote]

Sure let's blame the woman for losing instead of... you know... Terry McAuliffe.[/quote]

Filler-Corn was voted out of the House leadership position by her own party because she sat on money that might have made a difference in the handful of tight House races that flipped control to Republicans. She's the reason why we are in this mess with Youngkin. Her endorsement has more to do with her wanting to stay relevant than supporting Chap's opponent.

How is she responsible for youngkin being the governor and not Terry McAuliffe who ignored half the state in his campaign? Terry also sat on money, but you’re probably not going to blame him because he’s the white man.

Also, she had to keep money left in the bank account because the consensus at the time was that there would have to be a new election for the house in 2022 due to the Paul Goldman redistricting lawsuit. Everyone at the time believed they would have to run again in 2022, and they knew they weren’t going to get as much national attention and money, so of course they needed to keep money on hand. Eileen is the first woman and first Jewish speaker of the house and accomplished more in two years than any other speaker. And she travelled the state and raised millions for Dems in 2021, just as she is doing right now. Also… speaker isn’t supposed to be in charge of the House Dems bank account… that’s supposed to be the House Caucus Chair Rip Sullivan, but I don’t hear you blaming him… again you only blame the women.
