I’ve been lurking and reading for over a year, but it wasn’t until a few days ago that I saw something that made me want to post.
What I saw was a teeny tiny sign on Hull Street Road in Midlothian for Rick Waugh, who is running against Eric Cantor in the 7th District. And I mean it was tiny. If I’d blinked, I would have missed it.
Up until then, I had thought Cantor was running unopposed.
What does this say about the state of our political campaigns?
