In the Ninth District, a well-entrenched Congressional incumbent faces off against a little-known, first-time opponent.

[RUNS= :10]

The 43-year-old Christian bookstore owner from Abingdon is going into this battle short on name recognition and funds.
He's raised less than 8-thousand dollars ... to Boucher's 800-hundred-thousand.
That's why he targets voters on the street rather than through their televisions.

[NATS 16:42:39 - :40] ((NATS MICHAEL OSBORNE: PRAY FOR ME, TOO, WOULD YOU?))
[RUNS= :01]

Prayers and hard work may not be enough to unseat Democrat Rick Boucher.
Since entering office in 1982, Boucher's been popular with voters for bringing home federal money, paying for new jobs and better technology.
Network Computing magazine recently named him one of the 10 most important people of the decade ... because he wrote legislation allowing commerce on the Internet.
(///// SOT /////)

He also helped push legislation allowing residents to get local TV stations by satellite.
That work has brought returns to Boucher and the 9th District.
Last year, he courted EchoStar Communications to place a 14-hundred person customer service center in Montgomery County.

Osborne HAS worked hard for a chance to confront and debate his opponent, but Boucher kept him waiting until four days before the election.
As Osborne called for debates, his antics sometimes upstaged his politics.
