NLS on the 2nd District
Brian February 4th, 2007
The infallible “Not Larry Sabato” (a/k/a Ben Tribbett) has up a new post in which he opines that Delegate Bud Phillips’ seat, the 2nd District, is no longer “Likely Democratic,” but is now “Safe Democratic” because of Judge Dotson’s withdraw from politics.
No offense to Judge Dotson or Ben, but I believe anyone running from Wise County in the 2nd District would have a very difficult time, especially against Del. Phillips. Only a small portion of the district is in Wise County.
Ben is, however, very accurate in one respect: trying to guess potential candidates if the seat were open. He says, “[t]his is also the district of Brian Patton who may be the candidate if Bud leaves this seat open.” That is what I like about Ben, he dreams big. 
You would be a great candidate not to mention a great delegate. You actually think before you speak…something not every member of that House seems to do.
I think Brian would make a great candidate for any office that he decides to run for.
Run Brian, Run!
