Halsey Minor says that he’s not, in fact, running for governor. He’d be as terrible a candidate for Virginia governor as I’d be for the fifth congressional district. (I adore the sporadic rumors that I’m going to run against Virgil. Have these people never read a word I’ve written about the district?) And, as Halsey requested, I must acknowledge that he’s building a hotel on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall, which I’ve written about regularly on cvillenews.com, though never mentioned here.
