At the Wakefield Shad Planking, Jim Gilmore seemed to be predicting Democratic victories this fall. When asked by reporters about his chances, Gilmore said something to the effect of: "Virginians don't want another Democrat to create a filibuster-proof Democratic Senate to support the policies of a president Clinton or Obama." Sounds like he's betting on at least nine more Democratic seats in the Senate. I guess McCain is as smoked as the shad!
“Energy Crossroads” was primarily produced in order to expose the undeniable existing facts about our current energy consumption patterns and their damaging effects on our environment, the global economy, and the geopolitical balance in the world today. It was also intended to bring to light some of the solutions that would ease these destructive consequences.

How will what we do today affect the next
Seven Generations?
It has been my privilege to be a candidate for the office of U.S. Congress and to seek the Democratic nomination for that office in our district. Nevertheless, it has become obvious to me over the last many weeks that my opponent has won the support of a majority of our party's activists and perhaps had done so prior to my entry into the race.Cross posted at Coarse Cracked Corn.
If I were to continue with my campaign I have concluded, even if I were to be successful, the win could badly divide our party. I personally would be left with, at best, merely having won a short-lived victory only to guarantee sure defeat for the party and myself in November.
For these reasons, as well as to allow my opponent to begin his general election campaign a month or two earlier than he might otherwise have done, I am suspending my campaign for the Democratic nomination effective immediately.
I congratulate the presumptive nominee, Mr. Rasoul, and wish him and his supporters well and good luck over the coming months. Thanks to those who have encouraged me to enter this race, to those who have supported my efforts and particularly to my campaign staff.
Finally, a special thank you to all of you for your past, present and continued participation in the political process.
Best Regards,
Drew
