Miller And Rishell, Colgan and Fitzsimmonds Face Off Thursday
30 September 2007 | 29th VA Senate, 50th HOD District | 7 Comments
The Prince William Committee of 100 debates on Thursday, October 4th should be REALLY interesting. First up will be a brawl between 50th District Delegate Jackson Miller and Jeanette “Moonfruit” Rishell, who have been exchanging mailers and robo-calls in a campaign that Rishell turned into a negative campaign fight complete with blatant and outrageous lies. […]

Fun With A Colgan Campaign Volunteer
28 September 2007 | 29th VA Senate | 45 Comments
I just love it when a campaign volunteer knocks on my door. It’s even better than having a Jeanette Rishell phonebanking call and answer “absolutely not” when they ask whether Jeanette can count on my support.
Just a moment ago, a volunteer for Senator Chuck Colgan knocked on my door looking for my wife while we […]

Senator John Warner announced his retirement from the Senate today. The 80 year old incumbent who was first elected in 1978 said age was a factor in his decision. “You got to face that I”m now 80 . . . I want to be fair to this wonderful state,” said Warner. I’ll dispense with the habitual […]

Bob Fitzsimmonds: Let’s Go Shopping!
27 August 2007 | 29th VA Senate | 12 Comments
In his latest campaign email, Bob Fitzsimmonds who is challenging Senator Chuck Colgan in the 29th District definitely shows that he understands what’s at stake with the boycott inspired by our local radical affiliate of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. If readers can do what Bob’s campaign is doing, the result just might be […]

Immigration
Though the budget is of vital importance, Immigration is what I hear most at the doors. I continue to get a positive response from voters about my immigration plan. […]

Chuck Colgans Flexible Principles
5 April 2007 | 29th VA Senate | 1 Comment
Today Senator Chuck Colgan voted for HB3202, the compromise transportation plan, as amended by the Governor in a reversal of his stand when the legislation narrowly passed the Senate during the regular session. Undoubtedly Colgan will offer some explanation that the Governor’s proposed changes improved the bill in some significant way and alleviated his concerns. […]

Chuck Colgan: Default Democrat
1 April 2007 | 29th VA Senate | Comments Off
Here’s a real solid reason to re-elect Chuck Colgan: Democrats couldn’t find anyone else to run on the ticket, and Hal Parrish couldn’t be convinced to run for the seat, presumably as an independent. So is this campaign going to run under the slogan “Chuck Colgan: because we couldn’t find anyone else.”? From the Richmond […]

Fitzsimmonds Fires Back
30 March 2007 | 29th VA Senate | 12 Comments
Bob Fitzsimmonds has responded to Senator Chuck Colgan’s recent announcement with his own statement that aggressively goes after Colgan’s pretty awful record. Not only is the substance of this press release interesting, but the style paints a stark contrast of the challenger focusing on policy and issues, while the incumbent talks about personality and what […]

Will Colgan Retire?
28 March 2007 | 29th VA Senate | 12 Comments
The big question in the 29th Senate District is whether or not Senator Chuck Colgan will announce his retirement. There’s been quite a bit of speculation here and elsewhere, with most others expecting that he will run, and my bet that he won’t. With the April 13th state filing deadline approaching quickly, that […]
Colgan’s Victory Lap?
8 March 2007 | 29th VA Senate | Comments Off
I see that Community Connection Magazine’s article on Senator Charles Colgan has been published, and I get a little better treatment from them as a source for political analysis than I usually get from the Manassas Journal-Messenger or the Washington Post when they interview me on a story. This article certainly seems to be […]
Colgan And Potts Demonstrate Ineffectiveness
8 February 2007 | 29th VA Senate | 2 Comments
One reason many voters might consider keeping a senior Senator like Charles Colgan or Russ Potts in the Virginia Senate is that their seniority gives them the heft to strongly protect the interests of their consituents. The General Assembly is like most other political bodies, where seniority means raw political power, and having a […]

Colgan’s Self-Inflicted Head Wound
5 February 2007 | 29th VA Senate | 5 Comments
Amidst all the furor over Senator John Chichester’s proposed plan to raise gas taxes by 5% as an alternative to the compromise plan on transportation, Senator Charles “Chuck” Colgan’s (D-29) support for this atrocious plan has been overlooked. It really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Colgan would be interested in a […]

4 January 2007 | 29th VA Senate, Virginia Politics | 6 Comments
Jim Gilmore was nice enough to attend a fundraiser for Bob Fitzsimmonds who will challenge Democratic Senator Chuck Colgan in the 29th District.
