At the Keith Fimian HQ running in va-11 here in Fairfax

The HQ front door

It is a beehive of activity, people are in and out and excited. In the half hour I’ve been here workers have been in and out and in and out. The candidate has a debate tonight and time and preparation are being devoted to nailing it down.

Signs of the times, lots of activity at the Fimian HQ

Even as I was preparing to pack up a man named Joe Van Dalsum came in and picked up a sign as well.

I talked to the campaign mgr Tim Edson and the story is the same, a democrat running from his record and playing the attack card and very little national polling to try to hide the decline so to speak.

Well you can’t hide voter enthusiasm and they have it here.

Here is a clip after the main press conference on the 18th where Ann Marie Buerkle answers press questions

If you ask me this race is more than wide open.

I’m going to try to get to the Keith Fimian HQ in Fairfax VA first, then hit a press conference in DC at heritage and from there lunch with a pal and back toward Massachusetts.

I’ll let you know how this goes.

BTW Stacy’s wife is as delightful as he suggests and his kids are as self-reliant as he is while still being kids. Watching the 5 of them get ready for school brought me to the days of my youth.

I’ve delivered Stacy McCain to his home at about 1:30 A.M. about 3 hours after he hoped to be there but we got great material from pa-10 and local party guys kept showing up to meet us so how could we leave?

My basic plan is to get up around 7, blog a tiny bit and then hit va-11, then a Heritage blog event , lunch with a pal then start back north with an idea of getting home by midnight or to divide the trip maybe hit another house race and find a hotel, motel, k of C or a friendly blogger to crash with in Maybe Conn or NY.

All that will be determined by when I wake up ready to roll so I’ll read you all later
