Chap's Walkathon

Today, Virginia State Senator-elect Chap Petersen (D) celebrates a victory won with a good pair of shoes. The Richmond Times-Dispatch put his footwear on the front page. His appeal shows that the "walkie-talkie" campaign still makes good copy, good politics, and good sense.

From February 10th to Election Day, Peterson personally door-knocked every precinct in Virginia's 34th State Senate District. He won forty precincts out of forty-five.

Thanks to James Martin and Mary Lee Cerillo at Raising Kaine blog for the photo and posting of Petersen's note.
