This morning, on the front page of the Washington Post was the following article Wife, Friend Tie Congressman to Consulting Firm it goes into detail about how Tom Davis is corrupt, while sitting as chair of the Government Reform Committee.

The article itself is about 2.5 full pages long.  So I will try and recap it here, along with the E-mail that I received from the Hurst Campaign.

Sorry about the cut-and-paste diary, but I am really under the weather here and needed to get this out, and Andy Hurst's press release really sums it up nice and includes his response.

Background:  Tom Davis is Chairman of the Government Reform Committee of Congress and has been caught lying about his money before, and today the Washington Post Exposed him being involved in a scam selling influence and access to certain firms represented by his friends firm for $1.1 million dollars in donations to him and his wife's campaigns.

Andy Hurst, Tom Davis's opponent in 2006, is running a campaign based on ethics reform in Washington (to note here, Andy won the DC Bar Association Lawyer of the year for community service)

Recently the Washington Post came to the same conclusions that many of us have been feeling for a while now, that the Democratic base around the Commonwealth and the entire country has become invigorated.

This column Now, a Word About the Invigorated 11th District Democrats by Lisa Rein, was actually a response to her own column two weeks prior in which she described how Leslie Byrne might run in the 11th district in the open seat that Tom Davis will vacate in 2008 to run for Senate.  Problem is, as I wrote in this diary, Tom Davis is currently vulnerable and has a serious challenger this year in Andy Hurst.  Additionally, the Washington Post columnist didn't mention Andy Hurst even once, as if Davis was running unchallenged this year, and we were all looking forward to 2008.
