Saira Blair, who just unseated an incumbent West Virginia state legislator, isn’t thinking about her plans for the summer. She’s thinking about how to defeat Democrat Layne Diehl come November. Because if Saira wins, it will make her the youngest legislator in West Virginia’s history-  she’s just 17 years old.

Blair narrowly edged-out the incumbent, Republican state Delegate Larry Klump, by 144 votes. She campaigned on a straightforward platform:

  • Pro-life
  • Pro-gun
  • Pro-family
  • Pro-business
  • Pro-jobs

Blair even gave out her cell phone number to any potential constituents who might want to ask her questions. In addition, Blair has pledged to run only a positive campaign.

POLL: Does the Federal Government routinely assume powers that it is not granted by the Constitution?

When asked about her capability to fill the shoes of an incumbent lawmaker, Saira asserted:

“I think I’m fully capable of doing the job, and I don’t think it’s rocket science by any means — not if you just listen to the people,” …

“There are two types of politicians: those that think they know everything, and those who want to listen to the people and do what they feel, and I’ll be the (latter).”

That’s what being a representative of the people was all about before the government began abusing its power to take control of people’s lives and fortunes. Now, being a politician isn’t serving the public, it’s a career move with a highly lucrative payoff – depending on how corrupt you are.

Maybe it’s just being naive, but this young lady might be different.

  • She isn't the one that is naive I think some of you people are, we have all heard the politicians telling us what we want to hear but coming from a teenage girl in some short shorts makes it better. Im still going to vote for her because my other choice is a flippin liberal right? I just hope she doesn't sell us out for Lady Gaga tickets or something.

  • Hell if I lived in Virginia i would vote for her hands down !!!!!!!! Finally a real commonsence servant their fools if they don't vote for this young woman. she right it's Not Rocket Sience, although they would have us believe it is , it's just commonsence and a willingness to listen to the people and do what is constitutional right .

  • I say YOU GO GIRL!!! It is refreshing to see someone so young who is standing for the principles of this country. She appears to be open with a mind to LISTEN to the people and I feel will heed to what the people say. 

  • Now she sounds like someone we need to support.

  • Flower Power!

  • Well I watched young men and women being registered to vote on campus and given free pizza to vote for Obama right there on the spot. They even were registering people that were not US citizens to vote. Then there were the ones that were given free cell phones by the Obama campaign. Im sure if she keeps campaigning in her short shorts she will win alot of the young mens votes.

  • I wish her well!
  • She has my vote.

  • It is 'traditional' to give 'The Younger Generation' a bad rap.  It has happened throughout History.  In the 2012 presidential election:

    64% of voters over 40-years-old voted for Romney (against Obama)

    55% of voters 31-39 voted for Obama

    60% of voters 18-30 voted for Obama

    What does that tell you ?  It tells me that 40% of voters 18-30 voted AGAINST Obama. That's 4 of 10.  Who were they ?  Obviously they were the brighter, more informed, more rational of our younger generation.  They were not part of the Hype and "Party !" mentality that engulfed their Generation.  They rationalized and decided against the Frensy of their Peers.

    They represent millions of young adults.  Half are young men.  We need only 3 (athletes) from each High School graduating class, and 2 from every College class to join the Military for 3-4 years.

  • One crack about the Jonas Brothers and shes going to go on a hormonal rampage.
