It's pouring rain here in the 13th District. Needless to say, they called off the parade in Manasass today featuring the drivers for the opening season race at the Old Dominion Speedway. We were really looking forward to seeing ACC Motorsports #66, Team Roemmelt's sponsored car. We'll have to wait until next weekend. We're all rooting for Rob and Ron Jardine, and can't wait to get out to the track for a few races over the summer. Here is a picture of Bruce with the car from last weekend.
Late last night, after a meeting with some amazing grassroots Democrats at Matt Harrison's house, I had dinner with Maura Keany from Democracy For Virginia. Last week, she posted a couple of great posts on DKos about our campaign. You can also read her coverage on the DFV site. We literally closed the place down talking well past dinner about the challenges ahead as people cleaned up around us. Somewhere into the hour past closing, they turned up the air conditioner, then the heat, and dimmed and brightened the lights. Around 1:30 in the morning, the manager finally had to ask us to leave, and we stood in the parking lot for another few minutes in the drizzling rain. We could have talked for hours more. I have a feeling this is what Friday nights and weekends are going to look like for some time, but it's a lot of fun, and when it's spent with passionate people like Maura eager to elect people like Bruce, it's time well spent.
Maura is doing an amazing job with Democracy for Virginia and working to help build our Democratic party precinct by precinct. Democracy for Virginia recently won a national contest to recieve free consulting on house parties from Party2win and will soon be able to provide a lot of support for targeted House of Delegate races across the commonwealth.
It's because of the work of people like Maura that the Democratic party is able to continue building upon the grassroots energy from the 2004 elections. We aren't giving up. We're going to need all the help we can get over the coming months, and Maura is just one of many faces you'll come to know as we tell our campaign's story.
