Mark Warner Displays Incompetence
17 June 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Senate | 17 Comments
Mark Warner decided to weigh in on the illegal alien issue in an interview with the Clarke Times-Courier, demonstrating at best his utter incompetence on this issue. For someone who is expected to have a good grasp on the issues that most concern Virginia voters, Mark Warner absolutely is falling far short of that mark. […]

Gilmore Wins
31 May 2008 | RPV, US Senate | 25 Comments
I had to leave early before the results for Senate were announced, but Jim Gilmore eked out a very narrow victory at the Republican Convention today, Bearing Drift reports. Based on the sticker count I saw, Jeff Frederick should cruise to a pretty substantial victory.
Congratulations to Jim Gilmore for his victory, and Bob Marshall for […]
Marshall Wraps Up Late Endorsements
30 May 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Senate | 4 Comments
First, from the publisher of National Review Online, Jack Fowler:
I am the publisher of National Review, so I believe I have some conservative credentials. And a long time ago I was a member of the Spotsylvania Republican Party.
That said, I support Bob Marshall as THE conservative candidate, and I have put my money where my […]

Jim Gilmore Walks Into An Ambush
27 May 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Senate | 10 Comments
A funny thing happened on the way to Jim Gilmore’s anticipated coronation, in a way that’s not entirely unlike the planned coronation that Hillary Clinton was somewhat unexpectedly denied. Jim Gilmore pressured the Republican State Central Committee to decide on a convention rather than a primary as a means of selecting a nominee for the […]

The timing of the Republican conventions for the 8th, 10th and 11th Congressional Districts this weekend was set up to allow the statewide candidates for office that would like to speak at these conventions to move from one to the other without rushing too much, ensuring that as many conventional delegates in Northern Virginia get […]

New Amnesty Plan In Congress!
16 May 2008 | Illegal Aliens, US Senate | 62 Comments
The Senate is considering an amnesty for illegal alien agricultural workers proposed by Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) that will grant 1.2 million illegal aliens and all their family members unconditional legal status. It’s time, once again, to make our voices heard and burn up the Senate switchboard. Amnesty for illegal aliens only encourages additional unlawful […]

Bob Marshall Tops Poll
22 April 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Senate | 7 Comments
The campaign of Jim Gilmore has sent out another dubious press release claiming that they have commitments from a majority of delegates who will attend the RPV convention in Richmond in a few weeks. Since these pronouncements fly directly in the face of what many in the Virginia blogosphere say they observed at recent county […]
The Gilmore Campaign Spin Machine Cranks Up
18 April 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Senate | 7 Comments
The Gilmore for Senate campaign under Dick Leggett is desperately trying to spin the what happened at some recent conventions in Virginia where Bob Marshall received a truly tremendous response from the delegates. After relating to readers what myself and several bloggers in other jurisdictions personally observed, the Gilmore campaign is responding with this, […]

13 April 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Senate | 7 Comments
Bloggers have been watching a number of Republican mass meetings and county conventions and reporting a definite trend that seems to be bucking the conventional wisdom big time.

“Gail For Rail” Enters Senate Race
31 March 2008 | Virginia Politics, Humor & Satire, US Senate | No Comments
Looks like we have another candidate for U.S. Senate, according to The Shad Plank: “Gail For Rail” Parker. Her candidacy last time was a rather amusing exercise in seeing just how additional rail construction projects could solve just about every problem facing the country.
Parker really REALLY likes “rail!” In fact, she likes “rail!” so much […]

Who Does Jim Webb Really Represent?
21 March 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Senate | 21 Comments
The rationale behind the Washington Post’s puff piece about Senator Jim Webb was really hard to grasp, until almost the very end of the article:
He introduced a bill that would prohibit Bush from taking military action against Iran without congressional approval. He weighed in on the Senate immigration debate with a proposal that would allow […]

Bob Marshall’s Reagan-esque Border Security Solution
15 March 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Senate | 17 Comments
My good friend over at Spank That Donkey, who seems to at least temporarily at odds with me over who should receive the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator, has taken issue with remarks reportedly by Bob Marshall which suggested that the 35,000 soldiers now stationed in Germany could be put to a lot better use […]

Gilmore Runs To Momma
12 March 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Senate | 25 Comments
Oh, this is really going to work in a General Election against Mark Warner. Bob Marshall gives Gilmore a little jab about the level of support he is providing to initiatives to prevent the murder of the unborn, which pretty much didn’t get a whole lot of folks all that riled up, and Gilmore […]
Shaun Kenny Sums Up Marshall Candidacy
27 February 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Senate | 21 Comments
If ever there was a defining statement about a candidate, Shaun Kenney just gave it in a Washington Times article in today’s edition:
“People may come after him and say he is not a team payer, but Bob Marshall never has to apologize for a bad vote to his conservative base,” Mr. Kenney said.
The operative word […]

Bob Marshall Makes It Official
7 January 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Senate | 43 Comments
Bob Marshall has officially announced his candidacy for the United States Senate. His statement today should make any Virginia conservative proud, in that there’s actually someone out there who is willing to go to bat for our principles, and demonstrably doesn’t care who that manages to upset. This is about as pure a policy platform […]

Potential NVTA Lawsuit Shockwaves

Northern Virginia will collect an estimated $335 million additional tax revenue annually beginning tomorrow under the provisions of last year’s transportation compromise. The new taxes affect car rentals, hotel stays, car repairs, and real estate transfers and impose new fees on vehicle licensing and registrations. Should everything work according to plan, this money will supposedly […]
