Hampton Democrats - inlcuding former Del. Mary Christian and Del. Jeion Ward - are rallying together tonight to watch Barack Obama's speech regarding his first 100 day in the White House.
The 100 day benchmark is generally and odd time to guage the effectiveness of a chief executive - but it has become some sort of media milestone marked by grades, discussion and debate over the first steps of America's new leader.
"How has he done?" - over the past three months or so is a tough question to answer - and it probably depends heavily on your partisan lense. Shoot, how have you done over the past 100 days? (I give myself a solid C- for the record.)
But if you want to get some ideas of what Peninsula Democrats think of Obama, then you'll want to be a Twist Restaurant on 25 Wythe Creek Road in Hampton tonight.
Christian and Ward are going to help lead a roundtable discussion and speech watching party between 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
It is election season - so every good event comes with some sort of partisan angle - and this one comes courtesy of the race for governor.
The event includes input from Students for Moran, a group backing Brian Moran's run for the governor's mansion. Moran. Terry McAuliffe and Sen. Creigh Deeds won't be attending the event - they're in their own series of debates out west this week.
