There have been many conservations around the 9th District concerning Rick Boucher's possibly run for Governor in 2009. I have heard from many that he is seriously considering a bid. Since Boucher always wins heavily every two years in his re-election to Congress, there is no dobut that if he decides to run and is selected as the nominee, we would have another four years with a Democratic governor, since Southwest Virginia is the most conservative part of the state.  However, the thought of any 9th District Republican becoming our new congressman, especially a Kilgore, just sends shivers down my spine!  Folks around here are not that favorable to change, and it would be hard to unseat any congressman in the 9th, especially if he or she were a Republican.

So I plea to you Rick, stay where you are.  Southwest Virginia needs you!
