Is it just me or has the delegate race become a three ring circus? Just get a few more clowns and it is complete. They should take this on the road, the road out of town that is.
The back and forth sniping is getting ridiculous. Who ever is giving them election advice needs to go back to Richmond. Neither should stoop to the level that this campaign has been driven to. Negative ads, public smear campaigns, and whisper activities have made this truly a hard contest to watch. No longer do the facts matter only the sound bites. The twisting of facts would make Houdini proud.
Adam Toomer did not vote against 1,500 jobs. What he voted against was a corporate giveaway program that was so far overboard that it defies economic logic. The analysis the city did on anticipated income was so flawed that a fifth grade math student would be shaking his head. Will there really be that many jobs? Probably not. And many will be part time with no benefits. Will the stores all be new stores to Danville? Probably not. Many will relocate from other areas of the city. Therefore it is not new revenue but “relocated” revenue. This was truly a false claim and Danny Marshall knew it.
Danny Marshall is not against senior citizens. This ad by the Tomer campaign is a ridiculous statement and Adam knows it. But he continues to run the ad. Tomer knows that the vote was a budget issue and not a vote against seniors. Get off that bandwagon.
Both need to grow up and start talking about things that matter. Neither has a record of success in the areas that Danville citizens care about. Marshall beats up on Tomer saying he never created any jobs. Well neither has Marshall. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth Danny ascended to his job as a result of family dynamics not any hard work on his part. Jeez a job would cut into his days at the track. Tomer worked for……………..hmmm where did he work? What does he do anyway? The way he ducks the question you would believe he was CIA or something. Hey guys stick to the facts. Don’t let citizens go into the voting booth and flip a coin.
But the cheap shot at Tomer’s wife was a real all time low. And Danny can’t say he had nothing to do with it. Too much evidence points at him. Get out of that gutter. Its low and it is no character builder.
So both of you, straighten up and fly right. Citizens want the facts. Stop poking each other in the eye and give us the facts. How will you best represent the citizens in Danville?

I enjoy reading your blog as your comment are right on target. I thought you might find an article interesting posted on Yahoo entitled "1 in 10 Schools are Drop Out Factories" If you click on a link on the right side of that article titled "Map: failing schools across the US" and then click on Virginia you will see that DPS is listed as the #1 drop out factory in VA. This disturbs me as I was once an employee of this system and it is sad that it continues on a downward path which started in 2000. I like others decided to leave the system because there was not any indication that any change for the better was in sight. Keep up the good work, you are enlighting people as to what really goes on behind the scenes.
