Augusta Water Cooler is back after a summer hiatus.

Welcome Back

After a lunchtime meeting, where I asked Augusta Water Cooler what is up with his blog, he brings forth a post on David Karaffa, aka Augusta Conservative.
Nice info there Jason.

Now if this ain't grassroots......................

Senators Warner and Webb are invited to a town hall meeting on healthcare hosted by David Karaffa.

David Karaffa, a county resident, an employee of Augusta County Medical, concerned parent, and an enthusiast in regard to health care, has invited our two Senators to "Come on Down" to Riverheads High School for a forum on Health care.
He writes.... Due to the fact that neither of the U.S. Senators from the Commonwealth of Virginia have arranged any health care town hall meetings; one has been arranged for U.S. Senators Jim Webb and Mark Warner to answer questions about the health care bill, H.R. 3200.

David's call for RED. I thought it was Nascar, and Jr. still had #8

And his fans were just as loud and boisterous.

Battle on:Who will succeed Chris Saxman?

David Karaffa says," The big debate is tonight at Buffalo Gap High School, Please come and wear a red shirt!"

The 20th District Legislative Committee will host a special candidate forum tonight to choose among the seven local residents who have expressed interest in becoming the Republican's new nominee for the 20th District House of Delegates.
There are 7 people looking for the spot.

One Candidate bows out. Throws support to David Karaffa.

Mr. Christopher DeWald
was one of the candidates for Chris Saxman's seat. He stated....

"I want to add that I throw any weight that I might have had to Mr. David Karaffa. He is the only one of the 7 that remain that is out there in the public. I have seen and heard him in Gypsy Hill Park. He is out there with the people. The others lack that motivation and drive. We need someone vibrant that is going after the position because he desires to be part of the solution and will work hard for the party. He is young enough to run for many years and not to be just a figurehead. I applaud his efforts in obtaining such medical credentials in such a short time. That shows desire and people skills. That is what the party that I love needs. We do not need someone who will just want the name of the position, but go out and be the reorganized Republican Party."---Christopher J DeWald.

David Karaffa is appealing to even a Democrat

Chris Graham, over at the Augusta Free Press writes............"I do know a little about David Karaffa, a 25-year-old cardiac nurse from Stuarts Draft and former member of the executive committee of the Augusta County Republican Committee. I first ran into Karaffa at a Mark Warner town hall in Staunton in April the day after the nationwide tea-party protests. Karaffa worked his way into the public limelight at the town hall by raising issue with the federal stimulus with Warner in the question-and-answer session and then finagling a photo op out of the United States senator for his troubles afterward.

The Karaffa candidacy, I have to say, is most intriguing to me, because Karaffa appears to me to be the one candidate in this field who would be able to fire up the Republican base, which is important because the Republicans are going to need to have an energized base to do the heavy lifting in this suddenly competitive campaign."

David has thrown his hat into the ring for Saxman's Delegate seat.
