Young Vince is reporting over at Too Conservative that Steve Chapman is out of the race for the 50th District. Some of his commenters suggest that he missed a filing deadline.
If true, this will give aid and comfort to the hatemongers who suggest that Chapman lacks the competence to justify his candidacy. The requirements for filing for office in Virginia are, to the best of my recollection, not onerous.
On the bright side, it will remove the raison d'etre for at least one website that comes to mind.
UPDATE: Well, you read it here first. I said that "it will remove the raison d'etre for at least one website that comes to mind," and --- sure enough --- all of the hatemongering on the aforementioned website has been taken down, and its original owner has disappeared. For as much as he (or she; that site had all the class of the original smear campaign orchestrated by Parrish primary campaign manager Anke W. Cheney and consultant Kenney Klinge) portrayed Chapman as "pathetic," it turns out to have been Black Velvet Bruce Lee who is even more pathetic.
No wonder he (or she) has hidden his (or her) identity.
