I am generally pleased with Governor McDonnell’s State of the Commonwealth address.  While it left out unqualified support for the Appellate Defender bill that Senator Petersen introduced and I support, it did contain these words that I do strongly support: While we have significantly improved and fast-tracked the restoration of civil rights process, it’s still [...]

I do not flatter myself enough to believe that Gov. Romney reads this blog (although he ought to!) but his people better ponder this posting and heed it.  Or else not even Rep. Paul Ryan (who I am glad to see on the ticket!) can save it:  What to do with the Paul delegates?  Or [...]

I have to credit deep background for this news but I believe my sources are reliable. Good News:  Ron Paul won the majority of the statewide delegates in the Old Dominion!  Chris Stearns was elected to the Platform Committee! Bad News:  Donna Holt lost her election for National Committeewoman by only a handful of weighted [...]

I am back from the GOP state convention.  A few thoughts (just mine): Governor McDonnell had an excellent video to speak to the convention (The Governor is apparently in Europe on a trade mission); well put together. Bishop E. W. Jackson gave a stirring speech to endorse George Allen as the winner of the US [...]

I am sick over this whole thing with the judge candidate in Richmond.  Delegates I respect and admire greatly led the drive to keep Tracy Thorne-Begland off the General District Court.  I understand their reasons – the fear of judicial activism – that is not illegitimate BUT it is unlikely that a court NOT of [...]

I did see the media reports about Ron Paul has suspended his campaign etc.  NOT TRUE!  Here’s what the email says: Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process.  We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the [...]

I saw this title in the Washington Post:  Ron Paul:  The Butler Bulldogs of American Politics No, I did not write that title!  I wish I had!  But it’s true (Yes, even the WashPo gets it right now and then!  A stopped clock is right twice a day after all.) There are a lot of [...]

There was a dust up last week that was very revealing and it was over statehood for Puerto Rico and whether they could have Spanish as an official language.  Here is the Santorum view: While campaigning Wednesday ahead of the island’s primary on Sunday, Santorum told a newspaper that for Puerto Rico to become “a [...]

What’s up, Sandy?  Hawai’i independence?  American Samoa, too?  Are you nuts? Hear me out!  I am not advocating independence.  But I was concerned about this article about American Samoa.  This attitude concerns me: According to the AP, local GOP chairman Victor T. Tofaeono, a superdelegate, is hopeful caucus attendees will agree to commit all nine [...]

I am very upset (although I enjoyed the two Santorum wins in Alabama and Mississippi – if it holds up Ron Paul got FOUR PERCENT in both states. So WHAT’S THE PROBLEM? Don’t misunderstand.  I love the South.  I bleed for the South.  (Yes, I love cheese grits.  NC barbeque!  Turnip greens with vinegar!  Lima [...]

It has not been a great evening for Ron Paul.  North Dakota and Idaho did not come through with that first win.  Alaska is still out, however. BUT, Paul DID WIN the Third Congressional District – meaning that three delegates will come from that convention committed to RP at the convention.  I congratulate Chris Stearns, [...]

Rick Santorum had his biggest night last night picking up wins in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri. While doing little to actually pick up delegates, the victory shows that Conservatives – particularly in the Heartland – are not fans of Mitt Romney’s brand of liberal politics. Squishy Republicans are not the answer for many Conservatives. Another [...]

Apparently, there was an important Revolutionary War battle in South Carolina in January 1781:  The Battle of Cowpens. The Ron Paul forces, using the symbolism of the liberation of the Palmetto State from the British, have set up a Money Bomb to commemorate that battle and bring much-needed resources to the RP campaign in SC.  [...]

Listening to the radio and watching network coverage of the Iowa Caucus, you would think that the winner tonight has a lock on the Republican nomination and will be sharpening his (or her) fangs to go after Obama in November. So just what is Iowa really worth? Well, the truth is, if you were to [...]
