Last week, Delegate Bob Purkey (R), who represents the 82nd district including Virginia Beach, called the press “prostitutes” for not quoting him in the exact manner that he wished to be quoted. This week, Purkey was startled out of his slumber DURING a session of the House of Delegates, only to stumble around for a bit in a vain attempt to catch up on what he has missed while sleeping, and why he was being called upon.

Maybe Purkey thought sleeping was a better strategy than running his mouth and calling people names? At any rate, it’s looking better and better for Peter Schmidt (D), who is challenging Purkey for his seat in the House. Schmidt is running as a Democrat, and from my observations, he’ll be wide wake in this race, unlike Bob “I fell asleep while representing the people of Virginia Beach” Purkey.

Peter Schmidt needs your support. Please head over to his website and sign up to volunteer with his campaign. Together, we can elect someone who’ll represent the 82nd district…with eyes wide open.
