I will not cite very often the Susan S. Platt for Lieutenant Governor website but here is their recent cite involving Del. Glenn Davis (emphasis added by me):

QUESTION (Ryan Butler, Loudoun Tribune): Among the biggest advocates for the minimum wage increase is Susan Platt, one of three Democratic Lt. Gov. candidates and the leader in many polls. Assuming Platt wins, how do you contrast yourself with your would-be opponent in the general election?

DAVIS: You could not get a better contrast than Platt and myself. She was Joe Biden’s chief of staff and I admire Biden, because of his history and personal story and everything like that, but you have one of the strongest supporters of unions, minimum wage increases, that sort of thing in Washington. She is no different…

I admire the graciousness of this exchange and it is not unique.  Davis can win the election in November because his respectful and gracious but firm style will win those soccer moms in NOVA.  Even against Platt – I think is as likely as anyone to win next Tuesday.

I voted for Davis yesterday (and Frank Wagner for Governor) at Hanover Courthouse – since I work in a county different from where I live (Richmond City)!
