Va. Republican Leader Takes on Boucher
By JANIE LORBER
For the first time since 1984, Representative Rick Boucher of
Virginia will face a serious Republican challenge, possibly
jeopardizing his 28-year Democratic stronghold on the Appalachian
district and sending his office into campaign mode earlier than ever
before.
Republican Morgan Griffith, the majority leader of the state House
of Delegates, made his campaign official Tuesday as state Republicans
went live with RetireRick.com, a Web site highlighting Mr. Boucher’s
early support for President Obama
and the administration’s policies. Already, two Web advertisements slam
Mr. Boucher for his support of the auto bailouts and the House cap-and
trade-bill.
“Rick Boucher went to Washington 27 years ago to fight for us,” one
post reads. “How’s he doing lately? Is he fighting for southwest
Virginia, or for the agenda of President Obama?”
