The 60-day plan just dropped by @delegateaird in her bid for #VAHouse speaker is one of the most impressive political statements I've seen in a long time

First, it's brilliant politicking - Aird has to engage in tough election for Speaker with other delegates, particularly @EFillerCorn - this is a pre-emptive strike that basically sets the agenda for tomorrow's caucus meeting

Plus Aird effectively shuts down any "she's too young" or "she should wait her turn" talk by showing she's organized and ready progress-index.com/article/201601…

I'm at Water's Edge Brewery in Lake Ridge, Virginia tonight. Six of the seven VA House of Delegates seats here are held by Republicans. Tonight, that may change wildly.
Those seats in Prince William County, Virginia's second most populous, are a test of the anti-Trump grassroots movements spurred on by the Democratic party and progressive groups.
Of 8 groups, like @MoveOn, @BoldProgressive and @TheDLCC, that made endorsements in VA House races, 41% of their endorsements came to six Democrats challenging Republican incumbents in this county.
