The bigger news out there appears to be the crazy [2] weather [3] (I woke up at 6 AM in the center of The Perfect Storm, the weather as I type this? Sunny.)
The story that should be a bigger splash? The Virginia Democratic Primary which opened their polls today as the three Democratic candidates [4] for Governor face-off. At first I was a little interested [5] in the race but now my interest has waned again. With more rain in the forecast today [6], I’m not expecting anything but lackluster participation totals for today’s race. That being said it’s no longer absolutely safe that front-runner Terry McAuliffe [7] will walk away with a victory, who knows if Brian Moran [8] or even Creigh Deeds [9] could walk away with an upset.
Polls are open til 7 P.M. statewide if you are a resident and are itching to be vocal on the issue.
(UPDATE: And look what happened… Deeds upsets and wins it [10])
