Ohio and Virginia politics
Brian June 8th, 2005
Michael Meckler points out an interesting connection between Virginia and Ohio politics here.
He discusses the connection between Michael Golden who is the Republican frontrunner in the 41st and Ohio’s Bob McEwen.
For what its worth, “Not Larry Sabato” has already gave the nomination to Golden and has it listed as a “Toss Up” race against Dave Marsden.
Golden is a “flat-earther”, who threatened Jim dillard 2 years ago.
Marsden is Dillard’s campaign manager, and will win this seat.
Great. Sounds like Marsden would be good.
Golden will crush Marsden like a grape.
This will be a close race. Golden will carry all of his votes from 2003. Marsden will get Dillard’s Democrat votes from 2003. Golden and Marsden will split Dillard’s Republican votes. These will be the easy votes for Golden and Marsden. In 2003, 9% of the vote went to a candidate other than Golden or Dillard. Very likely these voters will decide the race if they choose to vote in 2005. Clearly, they weren’t supports of Dillard(and Marsden) and Golden in 2003. Let’s watch Marsden and Golden fight for these independent votes who make up at least 9% of the 41st district voters.
