Can someone tell me what the editorial page of the Richmond Times-Dispatch is saying with this brief editorial?
Fairfax Delegate Chapman Petersen will seek the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor. The 36-year-old Petersen is known as a proven vote-getter in (or in at least a few precincts in) Northern Virginia. But how will he compete against a Republican in other regions where the GOP generally runs up large margins? George Mason professor Toni-Michelle Travis says, “He’s going to have to find a way of balancing his Northern Virginia agenda with an agenda that answers questions from downstate areas, which are depressed and downtrodden.” If the Democrat follows that brilliant advice from the urbane about the provinces, he’ll be sure to pick up, oh, about three votes.
