 Don Beyer, Mike Farris, and the Wizard of Oz; how the election for Lt. Governor of Virginia became a testing ground for ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Look at the resumes of the two candidates who ran for lieutenant governor of Virginia November 2 and they seem like a pretty boring duo: Don Beyer, 43 year old car dealer, Williams College graduate, married with three children; Mike Farris, 42 year old lawyer, Western Washington University graduate, married with nine children.

His ads portrayed Farris as the front man for Robertson and Falwell, asking: "What if their lieutenant becomes our lieutenant governor?" The spots went after Farris for his adamant opposition to abortion, distaste for public education, and desire to ban children's books such as "The Wizard of Oz", "Rumpelstiltskin," and "Cinderella".
