About 81Blue

Q. 81Blue, yeah it sounds like a food additive so why name a blog 81Blue?

A. Y, because we love you M O U. Sorry about that, okay back on track.  Well because we are covering the Sixth District which is basically I81 from I66 down to Roanoke, the "Route 81 Corridor" as some like to call it.  The Smurf reference is because we're Democrats (no seriously, Democrats in the 6th, you better believe your sweet...just believe it).

In all seriousness though, the 6th has been represented by Goodlatte for way too long and 81Blue is just a tad bit excited that we not only have a serious Democratic challenger this year, we actually have 2.5! The extra 0.5 comes from Goodlatte's own record, it reads like a horror story, but more on that later.

We have two excellent candidates in Drew Richardson and Sam Rasoul that are vying for a heads up match at the final table against Goodlatte.  Let's see what happens.

If you just want Goodlatte to lose in November you can donate to the VA-06 Democratic Nominee Fund which is held in escrow by ActBlue and is transfered once we have a nominee.  Let's not wait 'til the May convention in Lexington to start building up the resources we need to defeat the 'Honorable' "I vote for torture" Goodlatte.

Good luck to those candidates. I hope one of them can take the 6th.
