It was his fault alone that Warner got his tax increase. 16 GOP members voted with a D Gov. There is no excuse in that. Howell should have passed over Marshall because he has undermined other GOPers running for office. Bob is correct on the issues but you cant yell at people who disagree with you. I have observed the GA for about 15 years there is no one more committed to the pro life cause than Bob Marshall. That is commendable but yelling at pro choice people is not the way to win allies,in politics allies matter. Bill Howell is a good and decent man but he is not a leader.

Hmm, he can't even play nice within his party or those of a different opinion. I think he is very SCARY! Marshall strikes me as an angry man.

There is little to no ideological difference between the two. The biggest difference between Cole and Marshall is personality. Cole does not campaign against and constantly rail against other Republicans during a very difficult campaign season. Although Cole can disagree with the Speaker, he does it in a way that does not hurt other Republicans and make the Speaker look bad. Speaker Howell has probably the most difficult job in state government. If Marshall had his way we would be in constant government shutdown, and we would have certainly lost the majority. That being said, Marshall is truly one of a kind and the statehouse certainly would not be the same without him. We need a guy like Marshall representing conservatives, but Marshall will never have any significant leadership within the General Assembly just because he cannot and will not play nice with other Republicans with whom he disagrees.
