Abbott AWOL from 93rd District Campaign
In our post more than a week ago, we reported evidence that Robin Abbott, 93rd House District candidate had abandoned her campaign. Now there is more evidence. A press release from Phil Hamilton's (R-Newport News) campaign claims Abbott has refused to participate in a candidate forum at Christopher Newport University scheduled for October 28. That forum, sponsored by the university's Judy Ford Wason Center for Public Policy, and CNU Young Democrats and College Republicans is the third forum in two weeks that Abbott has failed to appear or refused to attend. Compounding Abbott's refusal is the fact that she is a CNU graduate.

Other than the questions about how Abbott was able to weedle a free ride at Christopher Newport out of that fiscal tightwad, Paul Trible, after she had been his "personal assistant" she has been a worthy candidate.
She still has a chance for a good showing, given Mr. Hamilton's issues with his ODU contract. We should all be so lucky to get his deal. Reminds us of the Dire Straits lyric, "Money for nothin' and chicks for free..." Of course, since Hamilton is Republican, no chicks were involved, however.
