Progressive Democrat Issue 51: VIRGINIA FOCUS

Well done folks! Virginia is being seen as one of the BIG victories for Democrats. Not only did Kaine win big time, but Dems also gained in the state legislature. And Kaine GAINED ground after Bush came to help Kilgore, showing the nation that Virginia does NOT like what Bush has been doing.

After such good work you have all done in recent weeks, I think Virginia progressives can take a well-deserved celebratory break. Pat yourselves on your backs, buy yourselves a beer or a coffee or whatever you like and feel proud that you made a difference. Thanks for all your efforts and I am happy that it has been paying off.

And here is an official “Thank You” from Kaine’s campaign that is making the rounds:

On behalf of our Kaine Political Department, I most sincerely thank you for all you did to elect Tim as our next Governor. It was certainly not an easy task and not one that could be accomplished by staff alone.

As a local leader in the Democratic party your influence and attitude radiates to others. Thank you for keeping positive, recruiting others, making endless calls, doing myriad tasks and juggling work, home, church and countless other activities in your life. The end result is definitely worth the hours you spent.

We are confident that our local committees are stronger and better prepared for the challenges and races that await us.

Our office emails will be shut down as of Monday and we will all be off in different directions but our connection to this great effort will always exist.

Best wishes to you in all your future endeavors.
