Last week, I declared George Allen the de facto winner of the Republican Primary for US Senate by virtue of the fact that the TEA Party has failed to coalesce behind a single candidate.

I am pleased to see former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson announce for President.  I believe the liberty message is served by having more than one messenger.  Even unannounced but serious candidate Rep.

It’s hard to follow the beautiful and eloquent Sonny Johnson, the fiery Jamie Radtke or the informative and inspirational AG Ken Cuccinelli but somebody had to!  It was me (I also followed a wonderful VCU student who supported Israel but also mentioned the dreaded “scum-bag lawyer” [I knew he did not mean me!]) and I [...]
