The word is getting out about the Modern Whig Party and its mainstream, non-fringe and viable candidate. Media outlets ranging from local television to the front page of the Wall Street Journal are catching on that there now is a national political movement that values moderate common sense, rational solutions ahead of partisan bickering and stark ideology. Even Comedy Central’s Indecision 2010 is lauding the benefits, and difficulties, in building a non-fringe, “normal” political movement that speaks “rationally about hot-button issues.”
One catalyst to all this national attention is the fact that Jeff Vanke is gaining ground in what is now tantamount to a two-person Congressional race. The former university professor is currently polling in double digits, and with no Democratic opposition, Vanke is generating national support among moderates as the only independent with a viable shot at winning. He is essentially in a head-to-head race against a vulnerable Republican incumbent.
For all those clamoring for a mainstream, non-fringe, and qualified independent to have a legitimate shot at unseating an incumbent, this is the only race of its kind. Jeff Vanke is already flipping voters his way through an effective ground game. But he does need funds. If every supporter of this movement donates even $5-$10, Jeff Vanke will be able to make good use and potentially pull this thing off. But first, please consider his qualifications at www.jeffvanke.com. Many members and non-members have been motivated enough to make their first campaign donations ever. They realize that this race isn’t just about Virginia, but due to the special conditions of this race, it has the potential to affect the way candidates operate nationwide.

In perhaps the only Congressional race of its kind, a moderate independent is gaining national attention in a campaign that is now tantamount to a two-person race. Although the local Virginia media has been paying attention to Modern Whig Party member Jeff Vanke, national news outlets are now catching on to the unique situation arising in his district. The Wall Street Journal is the latest to describe Vanke’s campaign, as well as efforts by the national Modern Whig Party to establish a mainstream, non-fringe moderate movement that values common sense, rational solutions ahead of partisan bickering and stark ideology. The Wall Street Journal recently featured this party, its two public officials and its Congressional candidate on the front page.
Vanke is currently polling in double digits in Virginia’s 6th District. With no Democratic opposition, Vanke is generating national support among moderates as the only independent with a viable chance at victory this November. For all those Americans clamoring for a viable, mainstream independent with a legitimate shot at winning, now is your chance.
