1. One Term and Out

He couldn't keep his seat.
He is not presidential material

2. Tom is a good guy,but I doubt he'll even get the Democratic nomination for governor

Let's not overstate Tom's electoral history. His district was represented for years by Virgil Goode, who served as a Democrat from 1997 to 2000, was elected as an independent in 2000 and then as a repub in 2002, 2004, and 2006. Tom defeated Goode by 727 votes in 2008, but then lost his bid for re-election in 2010 and has been out of electoral politics since then.

I'd like to see Tom get the nomination, but ethereality is that Ralph Northam, the incumbent lieutenant governor, has done well in the straw bells, thus far. That does't bode well for Tom.

3. So who's running for the House in your district next year? What are their feelings about

...gerrymandering? EPA? Social safety net? Who is running for Senator where you are?

4. he does not have the stature

He will not even get the nomination against ralph northam for governor this year.

5. I've been following his campaign since he announced and frankly not that impressed.

He has potential, but he doesn't have a strong progressive voting record.
