Hey Vern?

You may be aware that Frank Wolf is being challenged by another Republican this year -- a man named Vern P. McKinley (not pictured at left), who says he's a Goldwater/Reagan conservative. More likely, you're NOT aware that Frank Wolf is being challenged by another Republican this year, because Mr. McKinley has run one of the quietest "campaigns" I've ever seen. So far, McKinley's issued 10 press releases -- about 1 per month -- and raised $6,325 (he's also loaned himself $10,000). That's about it, as far as I know.

In contrast, Wolf's Democratic challenger, Judy Feder, has raised almost $600,000 in 2007 and over $240,000 in the fourth quarter alone. She's been traveling all over the district, talking to voters and campaigning for Democratic candidates. And she's been critiquing Frank Wolf's record, just as a serious challenger's supposed to do. Apparently, these Reagan/Goldwater conservatives must think the "invisible hand" will make them the nominee or something, or that success will "trickle down" upon them without any effort on their part. Luckily, Judy Feder doesn't think that way. She knows it's time for Frank Wolf to go, and she's busting her tail to make sure that's exactly what happens.
