So, I attended the candidate forum for the Democratic party last night. Rebecca Leser was probably the best are getting her point across and I definitely think that she has a chance at the nom,especially considering she is the chair of York/Poquoson Dems and probably has a lot of connections. Downey was also a decent public speaker. Made some good points about why he has the best chance of beating Pogge. He currently has so much more money on hand than anyone else, that I think it is his to lose. Mayfield. I'm not really sure why is he is running. He doesn't seem to have a very good political grasp and understanding of what the issues are. I also felt that he wasn't really a strong public speaker and wasn't very prepared.

So, @AN62190 who just added predictions. Downey-Corporate dem pediatrician (hasn't signed Dominion pledge and has taken in $9000 in in-kind contributions from a mysterious PAC) Leser-Progressive dem chairman of York County Dems Mayfield-was unprepared at the candidate forum, weak fundraising, a few diehard supporters (friends and family) but not much of anyone else. Self-described moderate but is in favor of Universal Health Care and has signed Dominion pledge.

Leser is the lesser of 3 evils in this primary imo

She has a grassroots effort. Downey is all about the money.
