Just a wild rumor at this point, but I've heard that Ben Tribbett might be running for something.  Should Del. Dave Marsden be concerned?  Would Ben be a netroots powerhouse or what?  Does this rumor have any basis in fact?  I suppose you'll have your chance to ask Ben on our Blog Talk Radio show Sunday evening. :)

P.S. Speaking of hot races this year, we have confirmed Del. Donald McEachin for the show.  Should be very interesting...

Wow, so he really might do it. Ben and I had lunch in Springfield a couple of weeks ago and several different people walked up talking to him about running against Marsden, telling him to do it. I just figured it was the usual disgruntled constituents, but maybe he is considering it. Ben? Are you going to do it?


Fun political fact -- nat'l (PM - 3/2/2007 10:21:14 PM)
Sen. Joe Biden is running behind Sen. Hillary Clinton by 13 points in his home state of Delaware, according to a new Fairleigh Dickinson PublicMind poll.


How's Ben Tribbett doing in Delaware? (Lowell - 3/2/2007 10:24:08 PM)
That's MY question! :)


He's less controversial there (PM - 3/2/2007 10:43:21 PM)
The best political story of the day is from Florida:

Developer Raul Masvidal, one of Miami-Dade's most prominent civic leaders, appeared with his lawyer this morning at the state attorney's office to face felony charges that he siphoned tens of thousands of dollars from the county's housing agency to buy himself a sculpture of a giant watermelon slice.

Okay, that's just hideous. (Catzmaw - 3/3/2007 5:48:16 PM)
I really wouldn't commit a felony to obtain that outsized thing.  What was he thinking?


And speaking of which (Chris Guy - 3/2/2007 10:51:35 PM)
I hope everyone read what Ben wrote about Donald McEachin the other day. It's must read stuff.


I heard rumors about another blogger from Fairfax......... (Ambivalent Mumblings - 3/3/2007 12:47:12 AM)
.....briefly considering a bid for the House of Delegates, but not anything about Ben possibly running.
