Back to Business!

With the primary election in the 54th District decided, the ol' blog has returned.

For starters, let me thank everyone who worked so hard on the campaign. There is no way we could have achieved so much without your help in the trenches; doing mail, making phone calls, dropping literature, and working the polls in 100 degree heat.
With 55 percent of the vote, he defeated Spotsylvania County Republican Chairman Shaun Kenney in a House of Delegates primary that drew only 7 percent of the 54th District's voters to the polls.

Orrock wasn't elated with the results, admitting to his supporters that he hadn't won by the margin he'd wanted.

Kenney won in seven precincts --all in Spotsylvania--of the 21 precincts in the district, which includes central Spotsylvania and the Woodford area of Caroline County.

He told his crowd of about 30, gathered at the Massaponax Howard Johnson, that the showing was respectable.
We ran a great campaign, and it's because of your hard work. Conservatives made a great showing against a 16-year incumbent who outspent us 5:1. We spent $27 per vote compared to the opposition's $64 per vote, which doesn't go unnoticed. Toss Democratic crossover in the mix, and given the odds we did one heck of a job. Bobby Orrock ran a tough, professional race and won it by the rules. It was a conversation about the direction of the GOP worth having. I'm proud of what we accomplished; with no regrets.

The even better bit of news is that Kilgore is set to become the next governor of Virginia, with our very own Bill Bolling and Bob McDonnell is support. That's a great ticket folks, one I'm proud to work towards victory for in November.

In any event, I'll be back to blogging, commentary, papers, and other such activities in no time. Some of the links are a bit choppy, but they'll come back within the week.

Thanks again guys. On to November!
