2011: The Year In Review
31 December 2011 | Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Virginia Politics, Prince William County | 3 Comments
2011 was entirely boring and uneventful in Northern Virginia. Nothing at all of interest happened, except for floods, earthquakes, a furiously silly election season, the biggest historical reenactment and anniversary in 50 years, mass murders, redistricting, and well, okay. So 2011 wasn’t exactly boring.
With apologies to Dave Barry, here we go…

Fighting The Right Battles, Right
20 November 2011 | 87th HOD District, Loudoun County, Prince William County | 12 Comments
This was a race that shouldn’t have been anywhere near close. A strong conservative, running in a highly conservative district encompassing a swath of mostly Loudoun County and some of Prince William County, narrowly ekes out a 51 vote victory margin against a no-name liberal who runs a weak campaign amidst the biggest Republican wave […]

Quite a few surprises happened last night, and I’m still going through the mounds of results, but here are some of the things I think are worth noting early.

BVBL 72 Hour Report
5 November 2011 | Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Virginia House, Virginia Senate, Prince William County | 8 Comments
Lots of campaign activity across Northern Virginia, especially with Governor McDonnell, Lieutenant Governor Bolling, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, RPV Chairman Pat Mullins and Senate Minority Leader Tommy Norment swinging by campaign rallies across the area this weekend. As these races enter their final days, some races are tightening and you have an opportunity to make […]
Patricia Phillips: I Support Small Business
23 October 2011 | Loudoun County, Virginia Senate | 3 Comments
Speaking of the State Senate, here’s one candidate to watch. It’s not on many of the radar screens of the political insiders as a likely flip, but Patricia Phillips is running a strong campaign against an incumbent that no one seems to care much for. In an election cycle like this, Patricia could […]

Loudoun Blogs: Time To Get Your Game On
9 October 2011 | Loudoun County | 111 Comments
There’s a storm brewing in Loudoun County, and it’s just utterly awful. For some reason I can’t fathom, the Sheriff’s race has become the most prominently blogged about contest in the County, even while far more critical races for State Senate, House of Delegates and the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors are happening that vastly […]

I think it’s time to pack up this campaign. The stories have gone from terrible, to simply, outrageously horrible.
Shawn Mitchell: I Absolutely Support Obama
4 October 2011 | 13th VA Senate, Loudoun County, Prince William County | 13 Comments
Shawn Mitchell, the Democrat running in the 13th Senate District, wants you to believe he’s some sort of “moderate,” and doesn’t even put the word “Democrat” on his campaign mailers. In person he’s very different than this false image.
If you like what Barack Obama has done to our economy, our federal deficit, and in […]

PWC 100 Debates
29 September 2011 | 13th VA Senate, Loudoun County, 13th HOD District, Prince William County | 6 Comments
Tonight’s debates between Bob Marshall and Carl Genthner, and between Dick Black and Shawn Miller were rather amusing. Both of these races are between strong, experienced conservatives and starry-eyed Obama supporters bearing no meaningful resume. Many thanks to the Prince William Committee of 100 for sponsoring tonight’s event, as otherwise there would be no opportunity […]
Shawn Mitchell Should Reveal The Truth
26 September 2011 | 13th VA Senate, Loudoun County, Prince William County | 16 Comments
Shawn Mitchell, the Democrat running in the 13th Senate District, sure has a lot of explaining to do. You’d think that someone touting their business credentials would actually have a good business record to run on rather than a history littered with stealing from their employers. The Washington Times ran an article on this the […]

The Janet Clarke Story
12 September 2011 | Loudoun County | 5 Comments
Until I had a chance to sit down with Janet Clarke, I had no idea how inspiring her story was. I really hope she gets the nod in November. See if you can help get her over the top, folks!
Sheriff’s Races: The Travelling Circus
9 September 2011 | Loudoun County, Virginia Politics | 59 Comments
For some reason that I can’t quite fathom, elections for Sheriff tend to be some of the strangest in the Commonwealth, and that’s not limited at all to Prince William County. These vicious political brawls involve some of the most colorful characters ever to run for election and the information that comes out during these […]

As the primary approaches in the 10th District, facts are getting sacrificed on the altar of political expediency, as often happens. Here’s a little cheat sheet to keep things straight.

Patricia Phillips For Senate!
16 August 2011 | Loudoun County, Virginia Senate | 3 Comments
Ken Cuccinelli takes a moment in this video to tell conservative activists why they need to work hard to make sure Patricia Phillips is elected to the Senate of Virginia. I agree with him. Patricia is a great candidate and a win in this district would move us closer to removing Dick Saslaw […]

This Is What Happens When You Threaten BVBL
10 August 2011 | Jo-Ann Chase, Loudoun County, Virginia House, Prince William County | 53 Comments
Yesterday a South Carolina law firm representing 87th House District candidate Jo-Ann Chase demanded that I “cease and desist any and all publication regarding [their] client” or they would “immediately commence legal action” against me. Well, here at BVBL we don’t take kindly to ridiculous legal threats and have a standard response to dealing with […]

The Russ Potts Legacy Of Randy Minchew
3 August 2011 | Loudoun County, Virginia House | 21 Comments
Think back to 2002 for a moment. Chichester and Potts were deal-makers in the Senate, taxes were getting raised every year, and some blithering idiots came up with the idea of a massive hike in the sales tax to fund regional transportation. Of course the General Assembly at the time could have just […]

David Ramadan: Living The American Dream
1 August 2011 | Loudoun County, Virginia House, Prince William County | 18 Comments
This was a fun project to work on, and David Ramadan is a tremendous candidate. Very few people ever running for office have had to overcome such tremendous hardship and have succeeded so well. I’m pleased to have the chance to support his candidacy personally as well as professionally and hope that voters […]
