He has senoirity and he's in leadership. Plus, if any Republican won that seat they would re-districted out in four years anyway. Why would Kilgore leave the House?

I think the most important turn of events was Stuart and Vogel replacing Chichester and Potts. There is nobody left in the caucus that will so openly side with Democrats and the governor. And don't underesstimate Steve Newman as caucus chair, that is a big development. I think our caucus is more conservative than it was a month ago. Its not perfect and certainly not where I want it to be, but still . . . and what about the possibility of William Wampler retiring, to be repalced by Terry Kilgore? Greg I disagree.

There is a good chance that many of the new Democratic committee chairmen will be even more receptive than some of the Republicans in the previous State Senate on the illegal alien issue. It's time to put partisanship aside and look toward governance in the true Virginia tradition.
