Al Weed's campaign funds are rising just like a...plant of some sort.

The numbers are looking a lot better; in the second quarter Virgil Goode outraised Weed $166K to $110K, so Weed's fundraising has improved, but as C-Ville shows (click local news and scroll to Friday, July 16), Goode's still has a lot of cash on hand. I'd have thought Democratic groups would have been more quick to contribute to someone running against Goode, who was elected as a Democrat and then switched parties...

The recent endorsement from Democracy for America may help (and thanks to shari for bringing it to my attention). And how about John Edwards getting his sexy tush down here to help turn Virginia blue, and I don't mean from people screaming and fainting dead away at the sight of him...

Well, I guess people scream and faint dead away at the sight of Cheney as well, but you're not supposed to look at such concentrated evil directly. Take two pieces of cardboard, punch a hole in one...
