Making the Push

In case you live under a rock, I'd like to review the recent bursts of activity and outreach by the Wagner campaign from the past few days. Although they cut it quite close, the camp really made the push this past week to get in touch with voters and get Jody's name out there.

Friday was a busy day for Mrs. Wagner; from a stellar interview on 88.5 FM, WAMU (an NPR-affiliate station in Washington D.C.) to a rally in Falls Church that was so well attended it actually had to be moved outside to accommodate everyone! The rally was attended by the entire democratic ticket-- Deeds, Shannon, the delegates, and many of Virginia's favorite democrats like Senator Jim Webb came along to show support and hype up voters and volunteers alike.

This weekend included Wagner's participation in a Halloween parade in Leesburg, where she handed out hundreds of samples of her delicious Jody's Gourmet Popcorn  from her small business in Virginia Beach. 

Today was an exhausting day for the Wagner camp, as they travelled throughout all of Virginia, attending rallies and stopping by each coordinated campaign office to thank volunteers for their dedication to the campaign. Fortunately, Jody was joined by her husband, Dr. Allen Wagner and one of their four children, Lizzie (20).

They finished up the day with a rally in the heart of Old Town Alexandria in the square on King Street. Attended by approximately 300 voters, as well as multiple major media outlets, the rally really helped boost confidence in voters that the candidates could pull off a win tomorrow.

Now in the final stretch of the campaign, it seems the Wagner folks have done all they can to make the push.
