Very early polling finds Spanberger at 52%, Stoney at 8%. So, yeah.....
Some have suggested that Stoney is just gathering the resources before he drops down to the less noteworthy Lt. Gov race, something that he will could win the primary for if he does. But that's all speculation.
Honestly LT Gov is probably a big downgrade for him at least salary wise he makes $125K a year as Mayor and would make $36K as LT Gov. I don't think Stoney is independently wealthy so for him he mind as well go for the top spot or take his chances in the private sector.
I'd have to imagine that the advantage of his presence on the ticket, even if not on the top, is so large that Democratic donors would, erm. resolve any salary-related issues quite easily.
