Looks like we’ve got an intra-neighborhood race going on for the House of Delegates 47th district seat.  The challenger – Miles Grant – is facing a pretty steep climb, though.  Just about everyone who’s ever voted in Arlington over the past 20 years knows the incumbent – Al Eisenberg.  They also likely have a generally positive – thought not particularly strong – view of Eisenberg.  Combine that with no recent Eisenberg missteps or positions out of sync with Arlington, and I think Grant will find himself with a lot of work ahead of him.

Suggestion for the Grant campaign and its supporters: setting the tone like this is generally not how you want to do it.
