Karen Schultz is truly the bipartisan best candidate for state Senate in the 27th District.
Four local Republicans from past presidential administrations said they would back Democrat Karen Schultz rather than Republican Jill Holtzman Vogel in the race for the State Senate's 27th District Seat. All four Republicans live in the district. - The Loudoun Times-MirrorUpon the release of the news, a spokesperson for Jill Hotlzman-Vogel immediately began obfuscating about the Republican past of the four.
“Overall, [the four Republicans] gave only about 10% of the money to Republicans in the last decade,” Spellings said.The Loudoun Times-mirror is being generous. The fact is that VPAP shows the majority of the money these four have given up until this point has been to Republicans. It is illustrative that when faced with unflattering news the Republican party, from top to bottom, resorts to lies and distortions when speaking to the media.
VPAP's information did not support that statement.
According to the endorsement letter, these four Republicans and others in their communities began considering Karen Schultz for her personal ethics, fairness and willingness to listen to the voters.Ethics. Fairness. Willingness to Listen to Voters. That is the essence of the Democratic promise to Virginia in 2007. That is the reason the voters are responding.

Sorry charlie - The Wash Post just endorsed Vogel - calling her a moderate and saying Schultz lacks a command of the issues. Its over.
From the Post:
Jill Holtzman Vogel
District 27 : In this open-seat race, we support Republican Jill Holtzman Vogel, a lawyer who made her name as counsel to the Bush-Cheney campaign during the Florida recount of 2000, as chief counsel to the Republican National Committee and as a political appointee in the federal Energy Department. She’s also been heavily involved in state and local affairs, which has given her a solid grounding in the issues facing her largely rural district, comprising parts of Loudoun and Fauquier counties and points west. Articulate, fast on her feet and pragmatic, she is the sort of moderate Republican that has become scarce in Richmond. Her opponent, Democrat Karen Schultz, is a respected, hardworking educator, school board member and community leader but lacks Mrs. Vogel’s spark and command of state issues.
On the contrary, a Post endorsement has been a kiss of death recently.
At the end of the day, the only endorsement that matters is that of the voters on November 6th. Only they will tell who is right for the 27th.
