Davis-R VA-11 won re-election
Nov 11 2006, 2:45 PM EST with 55% of the vote to 44% for Andrew Hurst and 1% for Indy Greco. Davis withstood Webb carrying the district with 54.69% of the vote.Hurst put on a strong campain, he was an upset primary winner defeating Kenneth Longmyer, who faced Davis in '04 getting only 38% of the vote. Hurst lacked any significant Netroots funding but did get attention from the "RaisingKaine" website. It is doubtful that Hurst even came close to Davis' warchest. Should Davis move on, Hurst is well positioned to make another stab at it in '08. I think Davis' No.VA base (FairaX Co.) which has been trending Dem will help and not necessarily hurt him downstate. Although an ardent Bush supporter his NJournal ratings have him ranging from 75% Conserv on Economic to 48% Conserv on Social. If he presents himself as a moderate-centrist he could be a formidable contender. 4 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |
