I think people are confusing apptmts and noms on top of how apptmts are charged.
The SA's take it one slate at a time. Highest WCS wins the apptmt. They do not wait for every MOC's slate tp be submitted before dolling out apptmts, especially since a state like VA is known to be competitive and not every candidate will be on all of the slates that are available.
Webb, has until Jan 31st to submit his slate. If Warner submitted back in Nov it will have no bearing on when apptmts from Warner's are given just because Webb has yet to submit his. Just like Connolly's slate can appt a candidate prior to either sen. regardless if the Sens slates have been submitted. Key word appoint...not charge...2 different things.
That being said before everyone freaks out...the bulk of the apptmts come out in MARCH, that is why it is called the Mass Mailing. No notice is not necessarily bad news.
Don't freak until the third week of March, hang tight until that time.
