I’m no fair-weather friend, John...I’m a fighter 'til the end.

[link removed] [[link removed]] Every leading pollster and election analyst in the country considers VA-02 one of the country’s premier battleground districts, and Republicans are terrified. For example, when Virginia’s new House maps were released last month, Sabato’s Crystal Ball wrote: “…
