Apparently there’s a third (potential) Democratic candidate for LG—Rich Savage.
Who? you ask. Good question.
Jeff Schapiro explains that Savage is 46 years old, a father of two, a California native, a campaign consultant and he’s lived in Virginia for fifteen years. Past clients include Viola Baskerville and, interestingly, Dickie Cranwell. I guess he’s gotten together enough money for a poll; Cooper & Seacrest called me on his behalf at dinnertime. He says his top priority is education; since the LG basically does nothing, that would leave him with plenty of time to do education-y stuff, I suppose.
It’s nice that this fellow wants to perform some public service, but I’d recommend starting with school board or something.
I’m surprised you didn’t go for the obvious pun, “I guess he’s Rich enough for a poll…”
He’s not entirely random… you should check out the website for the foundation he set up in Richmond. You’ve got to give him credit for one thing, he’s a benefactor and great supporter of young people.

It’s always nice when someone steps up to the plate to bring teh crazy into politics. A campaign is more fun when we have someone to point and stare and laugh at.
Worse than random — another active Democrat reported to me that he received a call claiming to be a poll but it basically devolved to asking a lot of inflammatory questions about Jody Wagner and Jon Bowerbank. (Like “If you knew that this candidate spent his/her spare time strangling cocker spaniel puppies, would you still support him/her?”) It did not, shall we say, leave a positive impression.
@ Jackson Landers, you are obviously referring to Jody Wagner right? she doesn’t even have an issues page on her website, she should stick to selling popcorn.
