George,

Creigh is not a country bumpkin, but actually a true Virginia Gentleman, well-spoken and sincere, a good listener with honest responses.

He is a hard-working member of the Senate and has had a lot of success getting bills passed.

I think he has more chance of beating McDonnell than the Northern VA candidates for governor, because he is more attractive to the southern and rural voters as well as many of us urban liberals.
