Spotsylvania Republican Women's Dinner

Just came back from the Spotsylvania Republican Women's Unit Christmas Dinner, with former Lt. Governor John Hager as the keynote speaker. Hager had plenty to say about Homeland Security and President Bush's leadership on education. Worth the talk. Naturally, there was the passing of the torch to new leadership (congratulations Cheryl!) and it was well attended given the weather conditions.

The SRWU has really come into it's own over the last few years, and I'm very happy to see them emerge as a constant, steady resource. They, along with the Dominion Republican Women's Unit (primarily Stafford, but overlapping into Spotsy) and the Susan Allen Republican Women's Unit in Lake of the Woods (Orange County, overlapping into Spotsy as well) really represent what the GOP should be about.

Of course, the real buzz wasn't the even the 17th or 4th Senate Districts (though Stuber and Yakabouski were present). The talk is the McDonnell recount. Folks are interested in helping out in any way they can, which is great news for folks like me. Christmas time is always a bit touchy for volunteers for much of anything, and in Spotsylvania even more so thanks to our commuter population.

To see people fired up about McDonnell is, in short, refreshing. People are taking the recount very seriously and are very suspicious of any Democratic 11th hour dirty tricks ("Where did that 2000 vote lead go to?" was the question, followed by a wink and a smirk).

The news from Spotsylvania, for what it's worth!

There are a lot of volunteers needed, and folks should plan on the recount taking up most of the day.

If you're interested, you can always contact either your local GOP chairman, myself, or the good folks at RPV.
