Raising Kaine is passing along the news that Spotsy Democrats Chairman Jim Smith and VC Dick Toye are moving on.
While I served as Chairman of the Spotsylvania GOP, Jim Smith was an excellent sparring partner on Rappahannock Review, a staunch partisan and an old-style Democrat with whom you could disagree without being entirely disagreeable. Dick Toye — the “Mayor of Chancellorsville” — is every bit the gentleman and just a great guy to be around.
Sad to see both step down, though I doubt either will move on.
