Bob Gibson on Brennan/Abbitt race.
It looks like I’m not the only one who figures that my friend Connie Brennan has a good shot at unseating Del. Watkins Abbitt (I-59). Bob Gibson thinks Connie’s in a good position, too — she’s outraising him handily, thanks to her excellent support for Democrats across Virginia. Del. Abbitt has no particular record to run on (just look at his last two years of bills), no political accomplishments to speak of, and no particular constituency (having left the Democratic Party to hold onto his district after Republicans got the majority). His major assets are that he shares his father’s name and, of course, his incumbency. I feel good about Connie’s odds.
