Isn't it true that in that case the most moderate wins? Would anyone agree that the reason we got stuck with McCain last time was because the field was too too big?

Why? This race is like trying to herd cats. Someone needs to call the SPCA. There have been some really rational posts about the bottom 3 getting out of the race. I agree, if you are less than 2 weeks away from the primary, and, you have consistently (by most polls) been at the bottom, you need to do the right thing, and please please for the sake of the district stop with the ego trips. Part of the problem is that some got very early endorsements, long before the field grew to what it did, and long before those endorsers knew how their chosen would perform and succeed.Some still in the race are still hanging on those coattails, just as Perriello believes that he still has the coattails of Obama, and the rush to "hope and change" that he promised. How's that working out for the 5th district? or the country? In my little old humble opinion, Verga has been hurt by some of his supporters, just as Ron Paul has been hurt more by his supporters than anything else. On the other hand, McPadden has been riding the coattails of the Ron Paul C4L, and they are a very loud and vociferous crowd. Watch the replies to my comments and you will see that for yourself. After all the debates, and all the posts, and all the "you must support so and so because" it has come down to me to support McKelvey. He has a tremendous amount of support, and, his loan is his own personal property that he will pay back. That is a non-issue, and to say it is otherwise is foolish. Again, it is like trying to herd cats to get anyone to agree here. The circular firing squad is very much alive and well in the 5th district. Have at it folks.

I think I will ask him in Lynchburg at the debate.

Apparently Bill doesn't have much to attack McKelvey on - so he is attacking him for having good credit. *pfffffft* Thanks for clearing that up Aaron.

If Verga,Ferrin, and Morton want to be blamed for sending a Rino to office let them stay in the race.If Hurt wins the primary and loses to Perriello this fall I will remind you of this.Bill you say you believe Verga is the right man for the job well please explain to me his poor showings in every poll we have seen.I would have ALOT more respect for any candidate that for the good of the party would drop out and back another candidate but in this political climate we are in pride and ego's are a poor excuse for common sense.

And car. College. He has a line of credit. BIG DEAL! I have a line of credit. I use that and pay it back. It doesn't mean I don't HAVE the money. It means that for numerous reasons, it makes more sense to use the credit. You are grasping at straws and losing all credibility. Bill, please say that you paid for your house in cash. And car.

What? Verga has a credit card? Burn him! What? Feda borrowed a dollar to buy a soda? She can't be trusted with our money! What? Boyd lent his son $20 to go to the movies? He'll just hand out money in D.C.! What? McPadden has a mortgage? We can't trust these people!!! /sarcasm Seriously, calm down. Isn’t it only fiscally irresponsible if he doesn’t pay it back?

He has had almost three hundred individual donors to his campaign, how does he go to them and say I quit. What kind of respect would you have for a person who because of long odds quits? If our founders gave up because the fight looked impossible we might still be under English rule. I believe Laurence Verga is the right man for the position and I know he is doing it for the right reasons therefore I will not ask him to quit because the straw polls don't look good. This man has never quit in his life as his personal success illustrates and I would not expect him to do so now. If like some of you believe he has such low support his remaining in the race will have little if any affect on the outcome.

Verga,Ferrin,and Feda are all done they do NOT have a chance of winning.If these candidates really want to help the conservative cause they would all three drop out and work hard to get a truely conservative candidate elected.

McKelvey borrowed the money against a piece of property that he owns. It is like taking out a second mortgage. He could have sold the property and paid for his campaign but the property is worth over $500,000. There is nothing fiscally irresponsible about that at all. As for the RV he got it at a discount and will resell it for a profit at the end of the race. If anything this shows that he is a savvy business man. The ads he has put up are not getting any views on youtube or elsewhere so that may have been a mistake but at least he is trying. As the race gets towards its final days it is becoming apparent that the field of 7 is not as strong as we thought it was. Feda has IMPLODED with her plagiarism and family problems. Ferrin was never in the race. McPadden has his preacher issue. Verga has faded into obscurity. Boyd is struggling to make inroads into the conservative southside. Hurt and McKelvey are the only two that seem to have any momentum at this point. This post, again is misguided. McKelvey borrowed the money against a piece of property that he owns.
