To the Polls ...By Derek B. Johnson

The Connection

For Clifton resident Uzair Siddiqui,it was the economy, for Burke resi-dent Karen Saunders it was ter-rorism and for Springfield resident

Betty Jenkins it was integrity. Every voterin Fairfax County had a top issue in mindwhen they reached their polling locationTuesday Nov. 4 for the 2008 elections.

“There’s a lot of enthusiasm, thoughthere’s no way of judging for whom,” saidSpringfield resident Fletch Fletcher, who setup a table for the GOP outside the Hunter’sCrossing polling station in Greenspring onSpring Village Road.

Fear in the lead up to the election con-cerning overcrowded polls due to recordvoter registration throughout the state wereseemingly alleviated when voters and pollworkers reported shorter than expectedlines.

“It’s slowed-down for now, but it willprobably pick up after lunch,” saidGreenspring resident Sim Taylor, who hasbeen a poll worker since Richard Nixon wasrelected in 1972.

“We’ve seen huge crowds but everything

has kept moving,” said MichaelDuerksen, chief election officer forLake Braddock polling station. “A lotof us are veterans in this precinct.

Light but constant rain was a fac-tor for most of the day. According tothe Virginia State Board of Elections,preliminaryvote totalsshow nearly3.5 millionVirg in iansvoted in thispresidentialelection, upfrom ap-proximately3.2 millionin 2004. Ifthose num-bers hold, itwould rep-resent asmaller thanexpected increase after 5 millionpeople registered to vote this year, astate record.

At Westwood Country Club inVienna, where county Repub-licans had their Nov. 4 election

party, the night was an exercise in frus-tration.

Spirits were initially high around 8p.m. as party officials, candidates forstatewide office and the party’s rankand file continued to stream into thegrand ballroom of the club. Thoughtheir presidential candidate Sen. JohnMcCain (R-Ariz.) found himself be-hind in almost every national poll

“The Republican Party in Virginianeeds to find a message.”

— Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield)

coming into the election, many expressedan “anything-can-happen” mentality whenthe bulk of the results began broadcastingon televisions and projection screens.

“I feel excited and positive,” said PuneetAhluwalia when asked about McCain’schances. “He poured his heart out.”

Jim Hyland, chairperson for the FairfaxCounty Republican Committee, projectedoptimism at the beginning of the night, lay-ing out the electoral path McCain neededto take to the White House.

“Spirits are up because we still believeMcCain can win Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vir-ginia and Florida,” said Hyland.

Whoops and hollers broke out when FoxNews called SouthCarolina for McCainat 8 p.m., followedby reports of an early56 percent-43 per-cent lead for the Re-publican senator in

Virginia. That optimism evaporated as thenight wore on, with Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) winning all four of the battlegroundstates Hyland listed.

Former Gov. Mark Warner (D) cruised toa 64 percent-34 percent win against formerGov. Jim Gilmore (R) and 8th District Con-gressional candidate Mark Elmore gave ashort concession speech when early resultscalled the race for his opponent, incumbentJim Moran (D).

“You can tell your kids that Mark Elmoregave 110 percent,” said Elmore beforethanking his staff, friends and family.

By 9 p.m., the networks had called Ohioand Pennsylvania for Obama, and theparty’s chances looked sobering. U.S. Rep.Frank Wolf’s (R-10) sizable 60 percent-37percent win over Democratic opponent JudyFeder was one of the only pieces of goodnews for Republicans to reach the ballroomall night.

Connolly win leadsto special electionfor chairman’s seat.

By Julia O’Donoghue

The Connection

Fairfax County Board of Su-pervisors chairman GerryConnolly (D) won the battleto replace retiring U.S. Rep.

Tom Davis (R) in Virginia’s 11th con-gressional district handily Nov. 4.

Connolly was ebullient along withSenator-elect Mark Warner at a Demo-

cratic celebration atthe McLean Hiltonon Tuesday night.

Connolly de-feated politicalnewcomer andOakton business-man Keith Fimianin an electionwhere votersheavily favoredDemocrats. Heearned 52.98 per-cent of the vote toFimian’s 44.66 per-cent, carrying thedistrict with an 8.5

percentage-point lead overall.Connolly’s supporters, particularly

his colleagues, praised his work as

Fairfax County chairman. They said his ap-proach to local government would trans-late nicely to Congress.

“Gerry will be a champion for FairfaxCounty in Congress. He brings the FairfaxCounty perspective that Tom Davis origi-nally brought with him when he was firstelected,” said Supervisor Jeff McKay (D-Lee).

Connolly’s ascent to congress will be amajor change for Fairfax County. The chair-

man has been a fixture in local government,serving as head of the Board of Supervisorsfor the past five years and the ProvidenceDistrict supervisor for the previous eight.

The county chairman’s win also mightalso point to a more permanent shift in theregion’s political leanings.

Davis has represented Virginia’s modern11th District for all but two of its 16-yearexistence. Yet Republicans were unable tofend off Connolly, the most serious Demo-

cratic threat to the seat in years.President elect Barack Obama won the

11th Congressional District with 55.46 ofthe vote and approximately a 12-point leadover opponent John McCain. U.S. Sen.-electMark Warner earned 64.3 percent of theballots and posted a 30-point lead in samedistrict.

The Patriot District collected 19 tons of food to support local familieslast year, and hope to collect even more this year. With the currenteconomic situation, the need for donations could not be greater.

College Notes

BY NOON Tuesday, the Clifton ElementarySchool polling station reported that 2,100of 4,386 eligible votes in their precinct hadbeen cast.

“[The numbers] are high, but I would notsay they were unusually high,” said MonicaHoran, chief election officer for the precinct.“We were prepared for a nightmare and werally didn’t get that.”

Voters also reported light lines, thoughmany credited a good sense of timing morethan any other factors.

“I was surprised. Maybe the big rush forpeople at work has already happened,” saidSaunders, who cast her vote around 11a.m..

“They’re shorter than I’ve ever seen here.I have to believe that people are spreadingout their day,” said Burke resident EileenBillinson.

“I thought there was going to be hours ofwaiting,” said Clifton resident TracyLattanze.

Supervisor Sharon Bulova (D-Braddock)spent her morning moving from one poll-ing station to the next, greeting voters andstumping for 11th District Congressionalcandidate Gerry Connolly (D). She said shewas impressed with the Obama campaigncoordination in the lead up to the campaign.

“I think the organization from the Obamacampaign is like nothing I’ve ever seen be-fore,” said Bulova. “The number of youngvoters participating in the process is

unique.”Cathy Connolly, wife of Gerry Connolly,

visited Greenspring in the morning to greetvoters as well.

“It’s a very exciting day. We’re feeling re-ally, really good about the day across theboard,” she said.

Cathy Connolly said the increased voterturnout reflected people’s desire for change.

“What it really signals is a very excitingtime for the country. People in FairfaxCounty believe in good government,” saidCathy Connolly. “We’re used to governmentworking for us and its time we got used to

that on a national level.”Many voters based their decision on the

perceived strengths of both candidates: na-tional security for McCain and the economyfor Obama.

“We live in tenuous times and I feel withJohn McCain we are safer,” said Saunders,who voted for McCain.

“I would put the economy at the top, andthen the general direction of [the country]after that,” said Siddiqui, who voted forObama.

However, traditional platform issues likeabortion still managed to sway some vot-ers regardless of their feelings about thecandidates.

“I’m voting for the person who stands forlife. I don’t believe in murdering babies,”said Jenkins, who voted for McCain.

Jim Dillard, former Republican Delegatefrom the 41st District was outside the LakeBraddock Secondary School polling pre-cinct, trying to catch people coming out ofthe polls to educate them about smartgrowth. This election he has switched sidesto support the Democrat Obama, recordinga robocall on behalf of the campaign andhanging Obama flyers on doors the daybefore the election. He said that if Obamawon Virginia he would likely do it by fol-lowing the strategies that Virginia Demo-crats have used in recent years.

“When Warner, Kaine and Webb won, itwas all Northern Virginia and the areasaround it that made a difference,” saidDillard. “I hope they play a major role.”

Col. Vick Kuchar of the U.S. Air Forcespoke to volunteers and donors at aclothing drive at Burke Lake Park lastSaturday about his experience with the

children of Afghanistan. Showing his photo collec-tion from his tours in the Middle East, he explainedthat the harsh conditions of the Afghani winter of-ten cause frostbite on thechildren’s limbs. Many children donot have shoes to wear during thesnowy and windy days and nights.

“Our first goal is to save fingers,save toes and save lives,” saidKuchar. “Once we can provide ba-sic necessities, we hope to bringeducation to the small villages.”

The Lamia Afghan Foundationhosted the First Annual Afghan Winter Warmth Watchand Collection on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 9 a.m. to 6p.m., at Burke Lake Park. This was the organization’sfirst drive to collect winter clothing and school sup-plies for the children of Afghanistan.

The drive collected winter clothing, shoes, sleep-ing bags, jackets and other items for the citizens ofAfghanistan. The winters in Afghanistan are harsh,and many citizens in small villages suffer during the

by the event’s 30 volunteers into different catego-ries, such as women’s clothing, children’s clothingand household items. The drive collected enoughgoods to fill two large trucks, and efforts to continuesorting goods will continue this week.

Once the donations are sorted and boxed, DentonAirlift will take them to Afghanistan with the help ofthe United States Agency for International Develop-ment sometime later this month. The group usesextra space on military planes to transport donatedgoods to Afghanistan.

“We think of this as a hand up, not a hand out,”said Jan Bradley, a co-founder of the Lamia AfghanFoundation. “A lot of military personnel are helping

the people of the Afghanistan.America has a great heart, we needto help them over there.”

Saturday’s efforts took place inconjunction with two other drivesin the country, one at the Univer-sity of North Texas in Denton,Texas and one at Tarrant CountyCommunity College in Fort Worth,Texas.

“It takes a lot of effort and a lot of people workingvery hard to get this shipped over,” said Bradley. “It’sgot to be sorted, packed, transported, flown and dis-tributed. A lot of people help along the way.”

“There are so many groups that came here to helptoday. We have military personnel, Afghan-Ameri-cans, Christians, Muslims, everyone. It’s about ev-eryone coming together to help these people,” saidBradley.

Hillary Clinton Comes to George MasonDays before election, former candidate urgessupporters to work for Obama.

“There is no any doubt inmy mind that the teamthat will actually work foryou all is Barack Obamaand Joe Biden.”

— Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.)

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) speaks in support of Barack Obama on theGeorge Mason University campus on Sunday evening.

By Julia O’Donoghue

The Connection

With two days to go until thegeneral election, FatimaMubarak was long over thedrama and bad blood of the

Democratic presidential primary.The Robinson Secondary School senior

was always a supporter of Sen. BarackObama (D-Ill.) and admits there were timeswhen she dislikedHillary Clinton asthe candidates com-peted for the Demo-cratic nominationlast winter andspring.

But Mubarak’shostility towardClinton melted awaywhen the formerDemocratic presi-dential candidatestarted campaigning for Obama after theconvention.

Over the election’s closing weeks, the highschool student developed a fondness for theformer first lady, so much so that Mubarakstood on her feet for nearly three hours toget a good view of Clinton at a George Ma-son University rally Nov. 2. “I really wantedto hear Hillary Clinton speak. … I forgaveeverything after her DNC speech,” saidMubarak, referencing Clinton’s endorse-ment of Obama at the Democratic NationalConvention in late August.

Springfield resident Holly Biehl sharedMubarak’s feelings, waiting nearly as longfor a good spot at the Clinton rally. Biehl,

An Obama supporter holds up a sign during Sunday's rally at theJohnson Center.

an Obama primary supporter, said her feel-ings toward Clinton had also grown warmer.

“I have come to appreciate Hillarythrough this process,” she said.

MANY FAIRFAX COUNTY residents couldshare similar sentiments about Clinton.Unlike the battleground states of Ohio andPennsylvania, Clinton did not fare so wellagainst Obama in Virginia and may not haveas many local supporters.

Obama gar-nered 64 percentof the primaryvote, compared toClinton’s 35 per-cent statewide.The former firstlady performedslightly better inFairfax County,where Obamawon 59 percent ofthe ballots cast

and she took lion’s share of the rest.Several Clinton supporters attended the

rally at Mason. But most said they, too, wereglad to see their candidate campaigninghard for Obama.

“I am very happy to see her involved. …Hillary is a really good example of some-one who has put country first,” said AlyssaClemsen, a former Clinton supporter andSpringfield resident.

Clemsen, a military veteran, said shenever considered voting for McCain afterClinton lost the Democratic nomination andis supporting Obama.

“John McCain is no friend to [Hillary sup-porters]. … I wouldn’t vote for John McCain

if he were the only candidate running,” saidClemsen.

She added that McCain’s attempt to at-tract Clinton supporters by putting AlaskaGov. Sarah Palin on the Republican ticketwas insulting.

“Ladies, we have waited this long, we canwait another eight years,” said Clemsen.

CLINTON also made it very clear that sheendorsed Obama and wanted her support-ers to back the Democrat when she ap-peared at Mason’s campus.

“There is no any doubt in my mind thatthe team that will actually work for you allis Barack Obama and Joe Biden,” saidClinton, who has attended about 75 cam-paign events for the Democratic candidates.

“If you were there for me, I am askingyou to do everything you can in these clos-ing hours to win Virginia [for Obama],” she

said.The New York senator wanted to

clear up any confusion caused byone of the Republican campaign’slatest robocalls to voters in battle-ground states. The Republican Na-tional Committee has disseminateda recording of Clinton made duringthe Democratic primary criticizingObama and implying McCain ismore fit for the presidency. Theoriginal statement was intended totout Clinton as the better candidateto face McCain.

“In the White House, there is notime for speeches and on-the-jobtraining. Senator McCain will bringa lifetime of experience to the cam-paign and Senator Obama will bringa speech he gave in 2002. I thinkthat is a significant difference,” saidClinton in the recording used byRepublicans.

During the rally, Clinton said ofthe recording: “My name is HillaryClinton and I do not approve thatmessage.”

The former first lady also alluded to apotential sea change in Virginia’s politicalpersuasion and the commonwealth’s impor-tance to Obama’s national campaign.

“There is a chance for you to be on thewinning side in this election. … Virginia willmake a difference in this election,” saidClinton.

Some local Obama supporters said theyhave already seen a shift in Virginia’s po-litical winds this election season.

Obama signs have started cropping upover the past month in Clemsen’s neighbor-hood, which is home to some people whowork with or for the Department of Defense,she said.

In another sign of Virginia’s new “toss up”status, George Mason freshman MirandaOkuniewski registered to vote in FairfaxCounty instead of her home state of Penn-sylvania, another competitive state.

“I switched it to vote here. I felt like I hadmore of a say here,” said Okuniewski.

Clinton, who ran against BarackObama in the Democratic primary,stumps for him Sunday night atGMU.

The Connection

All along, Chris Regensburg knewit was a game he didn’t want tomiss. Not only would he line upfor the final time on a high school

football field, he’d do it against an old friendand former teammate.

A pair of senior running backs, ChrisRegensburg of Fairfax and Robinson’sWynton Fox grew up playing football to-gether in various Southwestern Youth As-sociation leagues. While sharing the samebackfield, Regensburg and Fox developeda mutual respect and friendship away fromthe football field.

For Regensburg, who suffered a hairlinefracture of his fibula against Chantilly onOct. 17, his status for this game was verymuch in jeopardy.Still, the hard-hit-ting running backdealt with the hard-hitting pain and car-ried three times for12 yards.

After getting“sandwiched” dur-ing a 3-yard gainmidway through the first quarter, that wasit. Regensburg was done. As he returned tothe sideline, Regensburg found himself do-ing something that he hadn’t done much ofbefore. He watched Fox run.

“I was upset that it was my last game,but it was still pretty cool just watching himtear up our team,” said Regensburg. “He hadgotten a lot better since last year. He hit acouple of holes against us, and he’s just gotthat extra gear.”

On those SYA teams, Fox was always the

A Friendly GameRobinson’s Fox and Regensburg of Fairfaxstart and end football careers together.

“They weren’t selfish andat that age that’s prettykey.”

— Gary McInturff

With a friendship developed during Southwestern Youth Associationfootball, Fairfax’s Chris Regensburg, right, and Robinson’s Wynton Foxplayed their final football game against one another last Friday night.

speedy feature back and Regensburg thepower fullback.

WHETHER HE WAS three yards aheadthrowing a crushing block or faking a diveplay so Fox could slither untouched for 72yards, Regensburg’s eyes were never on Fox.

But from the first carry of the game, itbecame apparent that most eyes would fo-cus on Regensburg’s counterpart. Startingthe game with a standard off-tackle play tothe right, Fox made two moves and cut backagainst the grain to his left, leaving Fairfax— and Regensburg — grasping at air.

The 64-yard touchdown was one of threethat Fox would score on the night, asRobinson (5-5) barreled its way to a 49-14win. In all, Fox carried eight times for 162yards, averaging 20.3 yards per carry.

Fox might have won the battle, butRegensburg can stilllay claim to the war,albeit not by much.

For the Rebels (4-6) this season,Regensburg rushedfor 916 yards and10 touchdowns on155 carries (5.9avg.), while Fox to-

taled 913 yards and nine touchdowns on132 carries (6.9 avg.) Regensburg also re-corded 105 receiving yards and one touch-down to 215 yards and three scores for Fox.

WITH 1,829 YARDS between them, itwas a rushing output that any coach wouldenjoy. For SYA’s Gary McInturff, whocoached the boys when they were in sev-enth grade on his 85-pound SYA Americanteam, he had that sort of production andloved it.

Though his team used several offensivesets, McInturff would often use a split-backformation with Regensburg and Fox lined upevenly behind his offensive tackles. Whenthe team shifted into the I-formation,Regensburg would block for Fox.

“They weren’t selfish and at that age that’spretty key,” McInturff said. “You have somekids who want to run the ball and don’t wantto block, but they were both good blockerstoo.”

Like many relationships these days, theone between Regensburg and Fox is kept

alive digitally. Whether it has meant a textmessage, instant message or the occasionalphone call, the duo has kept close tabs oneach other’s football careers.

But as both teams’ seasons ended last Fri-day, Regensburg and Fox might not talk asmuch during the winter and spring sportsseasons. Then again, maybe they will.

“I wish I could’ve seen him out there onhis last game,” Fox said. “But of course,I’m going to call him up and brag to him… but of course we’re still going to be greatfriends.”

Week in Sports

Execution KeyAgainst Spartans

When this year’s crop of W.T. Woodsonfootball seniors were freshman, the Cava-liers went 3-7. After the team’s most re-cent playoff appearance in 2004, a hugeletdown would fellow as several seniorsthat year walked away from the team.

This season, the team’s first playoff ap-pearance since 2004, W.T. Woodson’s se-niors hope to have a little bit more of alasting impact.

The Cavaliers will travel to West Spring-field on Friday, hoping to at least slowdown the Spartans’ vaunted passing at-tack (scoring 41.2 points per game).

“I don’t know if you can stop it, but I thinkyou just have to kind of play consistent andnot give up the big plays,” said third-yearcoach Trey Taylor, who has led his Cava-liers to a 7-3 record this season.

With quarterback Connor Reilly (1,628passing yards, 19 touchdowns) and widereceiver Max Waizenegger (44 catches, 806yards and 13 touchdowns), W.T. Woodsonhas a passing attack that could rival that ofWest Springfield.

Still, it doesn’t matter whom the Cava-liers play, execution will be the key.

“Our focus is going to be moving thechains,” Taylor said. “It doesn’t matter ifwe’re playing Westfield or West Springfield,we have to execute or we’re going to beturning in our stuff after the game.”

Robinson OptimisticFor State Meet

After his boys and girls cross-countryteams logged second- and third-place fin-ishes, respectively, at the Oct. 31 NorthernRegion championship meet, Robinson coachJeremy Workman let out a sigh of relief.

He felt that the second of three postseasonmeets provided the easiest opportunity to“choke” and was pleased that both of histeams didn’t.

“The main thing is that we’re moving on,”Workman said. “I was proud of the fact thatboth teams got into the top three. I’m notsatisfied, but we’re right where we need tobe and that’s all I can ask right now.”

Workman has had his share of tal-ented teams, most recently winning Vir-ginia AAA state titles in 1999 (boys) and2001 (girls).

With the top four teams and 15 indi-vidual finishers qualifying for Saturday’sstate meet at Great Meadow in ThePlains, Workman likes his team’schances on the 3.1-mile course.

“It’s very hilly. It’s a true 5K and a truecross-country course,” Workman said.“I feel like we’re at our best on a true5K course, which has not been the caseduring my previous years.”

Last Thursday, senior Jared Bermanfinished fourth with 15 minutes, 31.48seconds and senior Stephanie Bray took15th place with 18:30.14.

goods over to Bagram Air Base inAfghanistan in December 2007.The shipment consisted of coats,tarps, tools and other goods.

The Lamia Afghan Foundationgrew out of a mission called Op-eration Care. The organization isbased in Nashville and made upof nine board members. It earnedits name from a girl named Lamiain a small village in Afghanistan.When retired Lt. Gen. John Brad-ley of the U.S. Air Force was help-ing to distribute goods in the vil-lage, Lamia asked Bradley for apair of boots.

It was his wife, Jan Bradley, whohelped organized efforts to sendover shoes and other basic itemsto the citizens of Afghanistan, in-cluding a pair of boots for Lamia.The Bradleys then started an or-ganization to further efforts tohelp the children of Afghanistan.

“Today has been a great successso far,” said Leigh Ann Bradley,daughter of Jan and John Bradley,who volunteered at the drive andalso does public relations for theLamia Afghan Foundation.

Process above Partisan PoliticsForty-year procedure for choosing judgesserves Commonwealth well.

By Del. Dave Marsden

D-41

As I write this, I am preparing to meetwith the other delegates and senatorswho represent Fairfax County in the

General Assembly to select a new judge for theJuvenile and Domestic Relations Court. The va-cancy was created by the elevation of the Hon-orable David Schell to the Circuit Court.

I once spoke with a staff member at the Na-tional Association of Juvenile and Family CourtJudges, who shared with me that many peoplebelieve that Virginia has the finest judiciary inthe country. In Virginia, judges are appointedby the legislature, and in Fairfax County wehave devised a very fair and impartial way ofselecting judges for our courts. The currentsystem was put in place over 40 years ago inan effort to keep partisan politics out of theselection process.

Every delegate or senator who representspart of Fairfax County is able to vote by secretballot for the judge of his or her choosing. This

Commentary

vote occurs only after extensive interviews ofthe candidates by a judicial selection commit-tee of the Fairfax County Bar Association anda vote of all bar members as to the suitability

of all of the candidates fora judgeship. The Asian,Hispanic and Black Bar As-sociations also conduct in-terviews and make recom-

mendations.Candidates are then referred to the Fairfax

General Assembly members as either not quali-fied, qualified, recommended, or highly rec-ommended by the Bar. After reviewing thismaterial, the judicial candidates are then in-terviewed by the members of the General As-sembly, and their merits are discussed prior tothe vote being taken. A judge must be electedby a majority, so multiple votes can occur un-til one candidate receives that majority.

Candidates selected through this process arethen referred to the Judicial Selection Com-mittee made up of senators and delegates whoserve on the Courts of Justice committees in

their respective chambers. This committee thenvotes to certify these individuals as qualifiedor rejects them as not qualified. The recom-mended candidates are then sent to the floorof the House and Senate for a vote that offi-cially appoints them as judges to their respec-tive courts. This system has worked well forus, regardless of which party is in control ofthe Virginia House Of Delegates or the VirginiaSenate.

In many parts of the state, senators and del-egates fight over who will make these appoint-ments in very partisan ways. This past year,considerable wrangling, bitterness and delayoccurred over judicial selections in the Tide-water region. Virginians were not well servedby this process.

There may be times when each of us maydisagree with a judge’s ruling, however ourJuvenile and Domestic Relations, General Dis-trict and Circuit Court benches are staffed withtalented and hard-working public servants,who provide us with firm but fair decisions.

While there are many times when partisanpolitics make progress difficult, you can beproud of the system put in place many yearsago, and adhered to today, that has madeFairfax County the envy of many jurisdictionsaround our commonwealth.

Cancer is the No. 1 killer ofAmericans under age 85. In Vir-ginia alone, an estimated 13,990people will die from the diseasethis year. As someone who workswith cancer survivors and theircaregivers on a daily basis, andwho lost my father and too manyfriends to this fight, I hope we allfind these numbers unacceptable.It is time to recommit our nationto the war on cancer — and thatchallenge begins here at home.

The American Cancer SocietyCancer Action Network (ACSCAN) will bring this fight to the

Springfield community onWednesday, Oct. 29. The FightBack Express, which has been trav-eling the entire country, will makeone of its final stops at the Giantgrocery store in the Cardinal For-

est Plaza on OldKeene Mill Road onOct. 29 from 4-7 p.m.Everyone is welcometo attend this event.

Attendees will be invited to showtheir support for putting cancer atthe top of the nation’s agenda bysigning the bus. In addition, youwill have the opportunity to showyour support for protecting thehealth of all workers in Virginia bysending a message to Del. Dave

Albo (R-42) in support of makingall workplaces in Virginia smoke-free 24 hours a day.

ACS CAN, the sister advocacyorganization of the American Can-cer Society, is committed to evi-dence-based policy and legislationthat boost cancer research fund-ing at all levels; broaden access tocancer prevention methods, earlydetection tools and treatment; andstrengthen tobacco control mea-sures.

Find out more about the ACSCAN Fight Back Express atwww.acscan.org/bus and let yourvoice be one of the millions heardacross the country this electionseason in support of making can-

cer a top national priority.Too many of us continue to lose

loved ones who fought valiantly towin their personal wars againstcancer. It is time to fight back. Ifone person can battle this disease,a nation can defeat it.

trict buoyed spirits throughout the night.With the results still in doubt, Fimian tookthe stage to chants of “Go Keith, Go!” fromthose in attendance. He thanked outgoingU.S. Rep. Tom Davis (R-11), who he said“pulled me out of a hat for this race.”

“I have to tell you I’m more energizedtoday than I’ve ever been about this coun-try,” said Fimian.

STATE AND county Republicans expressedthe need for changes in their approach toVirginia voters in the wake of Obama’s vic-tory. Del. Dave Albo (R-42) said the partyhad gotten away from talking about howto solve problems. He pointed to negativeadvertisements run in 2005 against guber-natorial candidate Tim Kaine’s (D) com-ments on the death penalty and in 2006against Sen. candidate Jim Webb (D) re-garding books he had written before hispolitical career was launched.

“That doesn’t talk about how your kidsare going to college or how you’re going tobuild roads,” said Albo. “We need a moresolutions-based approach.”

Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield)said his party needed to start being morecompetitive in Northern Virginia if theywanted to reverse their trend of electoraldefeat.

“The Republican Party in Virginia needsto find a message,” said Herrity, “the kind

of message that resonates with Virginia andFairfax County voters.”

Some at Tuesday night’s reception ex-pressed frustration and anger about the re-sults.

“Because of what I know about Obama,he has basically no morals,” said Lisa Mont-gomery.

“It’s going to be nice, we’re going to beon guard,” said Heather West, pointing to

increased Democratic majorities in theHouse and Senate. “[Obama] will have noexcuse if he fails.”

Lisa’s husband, Butch Montgomery, saidhe completely disagreed with Obama onissues like the economy, abortion and taxes,but that if elected he would accept it, usinghis reaction to Bill Clinton’s election 1992as a model.

“I didn’t like [Clinton], but I’ll honor the

position,” he said.The 11th District Congressional race was

the last race keeping those that hadn’t al-ready left the country club from goinghome. At 10:30 p.m., Fox News called therace for Connolly. Fimian informed thoseat the reception on his intention to concedethe race to Connolly.

“These results, they swept a lot of [Re-publicans] away tonight,” he said.

He thanked his staffers, supporters andfamily, stressing the need to avoid fallinginto despair.

“We should take a lot of heart in what wehave and not focus on what we don’t have.There was a lot of talk this election aboutchange. Well, in two years, people are go-ing to want to see a lot of change,” saidFimian to cheers from the remaining sup-porters.

In an interview with The Connection af-ter his concession, Fimian said he was in-spired by the people he met as a candidate.

“Having never run before, I didn’t knowwhat to expect,” he said. “What I realizedis how many people love our country andcare deeply about it.”

When asked what he had learned abouthimself throughout the course of the cam-paign, he pointed to his work ethic, sayinghard work pays off.

“I left everything out there. This cycle Icame up short but I’m convinced that thesecret to success in American is hard work,”said Fimian.

the City of Fairfax.Connolly also won in the part of the 11th

District that overlaps with Prince WilliamCounty, where he received 51.85 percentof the vote.

“While I congratulate Gerry Connolly onhis win, his victory was not resounding. Ithink those numbers indicate voters hadsome doubts about his leadership of thiscounty,” said Jim Hyland, chairman of theFairfax County Republican Committee.

CONNOLLY’S move to Congress will trig-ger at least one special election — and pos-sibly one or two more — for local positionsthis year.

Residents will vote in special election fora new chairman in February or March fol-lowing Connolly’s resignation as countychairman in early January.

At least two candidates, SupervisorsSharon Bulova (D-Braddock) and PatrickHerrity (R-Springfield), have already ex-pressed interest in the chairman’s race.

Bulova, who has represented theBraddock District for 21 years, has said shewill officially kick off her bid for countychairman Nov. 12, and has already secureda campaign staff manager for the race.

“I think I can do a very good job as chair-man. I was mainly happy serving the

Braddock District, but now I think it is some-thing I should do and can do well,” saidBulova at the Democratic victory party inTysons Corner on election night.

Bulova cited her leadership on regional

commissions and the county board’s bud-get committee chair as preparation for thechairman’s position.

As a district supervisor, Bulova said shehas also taken on Fairfax County’s larger

problems, like transportation. She was in-strumental in bringing one of state mostsuccessful public transportation systems,the Virginia Railway Express, into existence,she said.

If elected, the Braddock supervisor saidshe would bring a style different thanConnolly’s to the county’s highest office.

“Gerry and I are both policy wonks andbudget wonks, but my temperament is dif-ferent. I am more measured,” said Bulova.

Herrity could not be reached for this ar-ticle, though Fairfax County Republicanssaid they expected him to announce his ownchairman campaign soon.

“Pat Herrity is highly likely to be a candi-date for that spot,” said Hyland the day af-ter Connolly won his election for Congress.

Herrity is in his first year on the countyboard but could bring name recognition tothe race. His father, Jack Herrity, served 16years on the Board of Supervisors, includ-ing 12 years as chairman.

In his short time on the county board,Patrick Herrity has butted heads withConnolly several times, particularly on howcounty money set aside for affordable hous-ing has been spent.

A victory by either Bulova or Herrity inthe chairman race would automatically leadto a second special election for a districtsupervisor this spring.
