Question for the 24th State Senate District Bloggers/Voters

Many of you supported Scott Sayre. This we know, and this makes sense. Hanger has voted for tax increases, tuition relief for illegal immigrants, and insulted the grassroots. Sayre ended up providing a tough challenge for the well-entrenched incumbent Hanger.

Now, I you supporting Hanger due to the (R) next to his name. Ok, I can see the sense in that. Help the Republicans keep the majority, keep the General Assembly at least leaning towards the right. Potts and Chichester are gone, so that's two old RINO's outta there, already

However, given that Arin Sime represents many of the pro-Sayre/anti-Hanger talking points, and is probably likely to side with the GOP on many issues...why all of this sudden support for Hanger? I know STD mentioned something about how Libertarians are "wrong" on social issues (and that depends on which libertarian you talk to), Sime makes more sense than any other candidate on controlling spending and sensible budgets.

Social issues aside (because let's be honest, abortion and gay marriage are not the most pressing issues to the general populous of Virginia), it's time for Sime. I urge conservatives to take a second look at Arin Sime in the 24th before blindly getting behind Emmett Hanger.

What you say makes sense. I believe that you will see crossover from Republicans. Arin Sime is a great candidate. He is more closely in line with Valley Republicans who hold conservative beliefs.
