John Stirrup’s Campaign Kickoff
9 June 2011 | 13th VA Senate, Loudoun County, Virginia Senate, Prince William County | 4 Comments
John Stirrup held his campaign kickoff at the Lion & Bull in Haymarket this evening with an overflow crowd that included political luminaries from as far as Harrisonburg, as this photo of John Stirrup with Senator Mark Obenshain attests. You’d expect that a senate campaign kickoff would draw a pretty significant crowd, but to […]

The deadline for candidates submitting their petitions and other candidacy documents was today and among the first to officially announce their candidacy was Jeff Frederick, who will be running in the 36th Senate District.

Chuck Colgan: One More Time
31 May 2011 | 29th VA Senate | 16 Comments
The on-again-off-again candidacy of Chuck Colgan continues today with an announcement that Colgan will run for re-election in the 29th Senate District. The behind-the-scenes buzz suggests that Colgan’s re-election is little more than a ploy to allow his grandson enough time to move into the district from Colorado so he would be eligible to run […]

Goodbye, Chuck!
25 May 2011 | 29th VA Senate, Prince William County | 21 Comments
NLS is reporting that finally, Chuck Colgan is packing it in. Folks in the 50th House District better start finding a replacement for Delegate Jackson Miller, because we’re going to need someone to fill his shoes pretty darned quick.
Significant: If Jackson Miller is the Republican nominee, the Democrats majority in the Senate of Virginia shrinks […]
And Then There Were Three
23 May 2011 | 13th VA Senate, Virginia Senate, Prince William County | 26 Comments
Current Gainesville Supervisor John Stirrup announced today that he’s running for Senate in the 13th District, joining Bob Fitzsimmonds and Dick Black in what should be a very interesting primary between three of Northern Virginia’s top conservative warriors. Any one of these thrown into the RINO collection that is known as the Virginia Senate Republican […]

Three In The 13th?
12 May 2011 | 13th VA Senate, Loudoun County, Virginia Senate, Prince William County | 58 Comments
Redistricting brought a lot of changes to Prince William County, and the two biggest were changes to the overlapping 13th House District and the 29th Senate District. To add just a little bit of confusion, the 13th Senate District was moved up this way and will now cover a wide swath of Loudoun County and […]
PWC Is Redistricted
18 April 2011 | Virginia Politics, Virginia Senate, Prince William County | 13 Comments
At least at the magisterial district level, we now know what the lines will be in November. The utter beauty of this plan is that a bunch of the people that Supervisor Wally Covington screwed over by blocking the establishment of a new elementary school — because it didn’t benefit his district — will now […]
Dick Saslaw’s Waterloo
16 April 2011 | Virginia Politics, Virginia Senate | 4 Comments
Governor McDonnel’s veto of redistricting plan sets up a unique battle between Senate Majority leader Dick Saslaw and the Governor that could have wide-ranging impacts on the political landscape of Virginia for the next ten years. Saslaw has dug in, daring Governor McDonnell to veto the same bad plan he vows to advance again, and […]
George Barker: When Do We Get Your Apology?
12 April 2011 | 39th VA Senate, Virginia Politics, Prince William County | 6 Comments
When the NAACP joins with Corey Stewart in decrying the redistricting plan devised by Senator George Barker you really have to wonder how in the heck any democrats can possibly defend this violation of the civil rights of Virginians. Republicans hate it. The left-wing blogs hate it. The NAACP hates it. Nobody has stepped up […]

Corey Stewart Blasts George Barker’s Redistricting Disaster
11 April 2011 | 39th VA Senate, Virginia Senate, Prince William County | 2 Comments
Senator George Barker came up with a redistricting plan specifically designed to dilute the political influence of Prince William County, and Chairman Corey Stewart is taking him to task for it. Good for him. When residents go to the polls this November and have to deal with all the split precincts and insane district lines, […]

Inkblots Or Senate Districts?
5 April 2011 | Virginia Politics, Virginia Senate, Prince William County | 2 Comments
I’m not the only one making the compaison between the proposed Senate Districts that Senator George Barker designed with a piece of freeware and Rohrsach ink blots. RPV decided to make a game of it and established howellorrorschach.com which challenges visitors to distinguish between Senate districts and the ink blots used in this well-known psychological […]

Proposed Senate Districts: Unbelievable
29 March 2011 | Virginia Senate | 24 Comments
The Virginian-Pilot has put up some Google maps of the proposed Senate districts (amazing what can be done when you’re not relying on Microsoft technology) and wow, are they absolutely incredible. Not one of the districts in Northern Virginia approach anything resembling sanity — each one of them is a long, snaking mess that is […]

House and Senate maps are up.
UPDATE: DLIS took the new maps down, and are promising they’ll put them back up shortly.

How Anti-Semitic Is George Barker?
23 March 2011 | 39th VA Senate | 3 Comments
If Senator George Barker’s campaign kickoff includes Congressman Jim Moran as a “special guest,” would voters be correct in assuming that Barker agrees with the policies promoted by Moran and his actions as a Congressman? It’s hard to come to any other conclusion when the first official event of your re-election campaign prominently features Virginia’s […]

SB 1049 Battle Continues
24 February 2011 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Senate | 4 Comments
Although the Senate rejected House amendments to SB 1049 today on a 10-29 vote today, the bill has now gone to a conference committee that will negotiate a compromise that will be considered by the House and Senate, perhaps as early as tomorrow. There is still time to contact your Senators, especially ones that wanted […]

Senate Gets Blindsided On E-Verify

UPDATE 2: Senate rejected House Amendments 29-10. Vote details will be up shortly.
Senator Barker’s weak SB 1049 was successfully amended by Delegate Jackson Miller today to include provisions the Senate previously hid from by not bringing the bills up in the Senate Courts of Justice Committee. Now the bill goes to the Senate […]

Virginia Senate: We Don’t Have Time For You
21 February 2011 | Illegal Aliens, 29th VA Senate, Crime, Virginia Senate | 16 Comments
Finally we have an answer from the Chairman of the Senate Courts of Justice Committee as to why they aren’t going to allow debate on bills that would address illegal immigration in Virginia. Senator Henry Marsh claims he “didn’t want to take up time with them” according to a report from Delegate Scott Lingamfelter. Three […]

Lingamfelter Shoots Back At The Senate
18 February 2011 | 31st HOD District, Illegal Aliens, Crime, Virginia Senate | 24 Comments
Delegate Scott Lingamfelter responded to the deplorable actions by the Senate to stand in the way of any efforts to reduce the number of illegal aliens unlawfully present in the Commonwealth and reduce the incidence of violent crime committed by illegal aliens. When drug cartel violence has slaughtered 30-35,000 mexicans and drug cartels are […]

Chuck Colgan: The Law Is For The Little People
17 February 2011 | 29th VA Senate, Crime, Prince William County | 33 Comments
A number of Senator Chuck Colgan’s constituents were rather taken aback after Colgan sat on his hands and did nothing while the Senate of Virginia shot down a number of bills that would help state and local officials reduce the number of illegal aliens unlawfully present in Virginia, even after an illegal alien massacred three […]
