His purpose and that of his assistant was to use FT to post as much ugly and hurtful misinformation as he could. He sent threatening e-mails to people assuring them if they did not answer he would do his thing on FT. His &quot;sources&quot; were the wives and ex-wives of candidates with very personnel vested interests in smearing others. When he did not post on FT,he wrote his trash on his and his assistant&#039;s blog and created those links. Our community leaders are not perfect by a long shot but they are nothing like TJ and Corran have portrayed them. We all have some disappointments in the election but none of us have resorted to this kind of behavior. The two presented themselves as people in the know, on the inside of the political scene here in Caroline and elsewhere. Nothing could be further from the truth. If I know Caroline and I do, folks will continue to close ranks and keep these two marginalized where they belong. FT should do the same.

Who was this woman?

    It gets even stranger: when Paul Jost, another candidate, showed up and asked why the meeting was held early, a woman helping to run the meeting apparently yelled at him using profanities and she had to be restrained!

					<description><![CDATA[To the editor:

Middlesex voters have a terrific opportunity in less than a month. On December 11 a special election will be held to elect a new member of Congress to fill the vacant seat created when Jo Ann Davis died in September after a long battle with cancer. I will support the Democratic candidate, Philip Forgit, and encourage Middlesex voters to join me.

Philip Forgit is a Bronze Star decorated veteran of the Iraq War, having served with a Naval Special Warfare unit as an adviser to the Iraqi Army in 2005-06. A Naval Reservist, Mr. Forgit was mobilized from his former job as a 4th grade teacher at Rawls Byrd Elementary in James City County.

As a teacher, Mr. Forgit was recognized for his special qualities with the 2005 National Education Association Foundation Award for Teaching Excellence, including a $35,000 national prize that was awarded to him live, via satellite, while he served in Iraq. Since his return to the U.S., Mr. Forgit has used the prize money to establish ForgitFilms LLC for the purpose of making a documentary on Iraqi soldiers and their families.

Mr. Forgit is a graduate of the College of William and Mary with a BA in History ’89 and an MA in elementary education ’95. He lives in Williamsburg with his wife Dawn, also a school teacher, and their three children. They attend Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church where Mr. Forgit is a deacon and chair of the Mercy Ministry.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Forgit at the Oyster Festival where he discussed his views on the Iraq war, concerns of veterans, health care, immigration, traffic issues, and taxation. He is an excellent listener (even to folks in rural Middlesex County), and gives straight answers—a rare quality in far too many who run for public office.

Voters can learn more about Mr. Forgit and his views on the issues at his web site www.forgit2007.com.

					<description><![CDATA[Or this comment from:

http://blog.vivianpaige.com/2007/11/14/and-then-there-were-three/


8. Hosan Milovic - November 15, 2007

    I think when “conservatives” see that Wittman voted FOR HB3202 and went so far as to write editorials for the local newspaper in support and defense of the Abusive Driver Fee’s, that the Democrat is going to be looking a lot better.

    This seat could easily be won by the Democrat, if he can get his message out to “conservatives” in the district. Wittman has some real problem as noted by others with his tenure in Westmoreland County and the ADA violation plus his uncomfortable relationship with industries he’s supposed to be regulating.

    I sometimes wonder why Republicans will pick the absolute WORST candidate to run for a job like this.

    Virginia is neither a “blue” or “red” state. It is a CONSERVATIVE state and the party that forgets (or is it Forgit’s?) it, will lose!]]></description>
