Gerry Connolly Sucks, Part 2
This was written back in September on RK and it was true. It's the #1 reason why now Senator Chap Petersen endorsed Leslie Byrne so quickly. It's also the reason why I will work to defeat every single elected official who endorsed Gerry after he did this.
Those pics of Gerry are particularly unflattering.
His double chin and expanded waistline are indicative of his largesse as a public official.

I'm not sure how much I would put into that linked post with all of the misspellings etc. by the author . I would try to find something else to back up your theory to give it more substance. Right now it looks like you are grasping at straws.

It's not a theory. I worked on Chap's campaign- and you can ask the Senator what Gerry did for his campaign. Not only was there zero support, but it seemed at times it was outright sabotage.

I still like Connolly more than Byrne

The WaPo fired the blogger Christmas Ape. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

anon 09:50 makes a valid point about finding something with more substance to support your assertion about Connnolly. As I read that post I had the same reaction.
Chap won. If this agreement between Davis and Connolly did exist, it failed to do any harm.
It seems to me your energy should be put to use defeating Republicans and electing Democrats. It is no sin to have endorsed Connolly. Other Democrats are free to do so.
Simply make sure Byrne wins the nomination. That would be the most effective course of action.

Chap Petersen won in SPITE of Connolly's efforts to sabotage his campaign, just ask anyone on the Petersen campaign.

Amazing a check of VPAP reveals no contribution from anyone named "Tribbett" to Chap's campaign! But...no...wait...VPAP shows someone named "Tribbett" gave to a campaign for...um...someone named "Tribbett" (sigh).

Um- I didn't give Chap any money because he was paying me. That would have been kind of circular. However, I didn't charge him very much for the time I put in.

During the campaign, I guess I missed the part where Chap! was sponsoring this web site.
Not that I am losing any sleep over JMDD's performance...in the election....
