Okay, we're really going to go out on a limb with this one. Sterling Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio has farmed out his aide, Donny Ferguson, to run as a Libertarian against 30-year Democratic Delegate Ken Plum in Reston. Ferguson's campaign platform can be summed up in two prongs: "no local income tax," which leaves people scratching their heads in confusion; and "no tolls on the Toll Road," which might actually get Ferguson a handful of protest votes.
Still, does anyone see Ken Plum getting less than 90% in a district comprised mostly of the People's Republic of Reston? Against a Libertarian?
My trademark George Foreman intuition is on solid ground here. Maybe Delgaudio and Ferguson should stick to rattling cages in Loudoun County.
UPDATE: Ferguson tells us that Plum spent primary day out of the country. Perhaps he was out with fellow absentee Chuck Caputo?
UPDATE 2: Not Larry Sabato thought perhaps there were readers of my blog who would not get the Caputo reference. As if both of you don't come straight over here after reading the latest at Not Larry's. :) At any rate, here is where the inside joke on Caputo comes from.
