“Ted Cruz? What? We want to hear more about Trump!” – Sorry. Like I said, I’m done. Other than Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz is the best fund raiser in the 2016 Republican field. His experience with the Senate Conservatives Fund has helped him reach out to activists and individuals in all fifty states, raising millions […]

Over the last month, the grassroots have embraced a strange form of hysteria. They have wrapped their arms around the President, around John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, in opposition to the ground-up pursuit of sanity by the American People, requesting their State Governments to do what their Federal Government will […]

I have been around all over both geographically and politically – I was just at an event in the last several days featuring Terry McAuliffe and he wants to both accept the Medicaid expansion and spend the money from the Feds for education! (That is in contrast to what Michigan Governor Rick Snyder wants to […]

It looks like Virginia Right! has a split decision on the Attorney General Candidate this year. My fellow blogger Sandy Sanders has already endorsed Rob Bell and by agreement between us if we do not agree on an endorsement, we may endorse personally, but not in the name of Virginia Right! Both Rob Bell and […]

I don’t plan to participate in the Virginia Republican Presidential Primary in March, 2012. Not because of the requirement that you take an oath to support the eventual Republican nominee, whoever that may eventually be. That’s a given. Any of the Republican candidates will be a far better president than Obama. If you are interested […]

A Washington Post / ABC News poll released today has some bad news for President Obama. His approval has slipped to 47%. A full 50% disapprove of the job Obama is doing. I know what you are thinking. The liberal WaPo and equally liberal ABC News conducting a poll? Can this be a fair poll? […]

If there was any question on who the Democrat’s perceive as the biggest threat to defeat Barack Obama in the 2012 election, look no further. Mitt Romney has risen to the top in several of the early polls, so the Democrats have evidently circulated the “Get Mitt” memo (Unlike Republicans supporting anyone but Maii with […]

After ducking voters for six years, the reclusive Senator Jim Webb has decided that once is enough. He will not seek reelection in 2012. This is not really shocking news to most who follow politics. While Webb has voted in favor of Virginians on Defense measures that would adversely effect the Commonwealth’s military bases, on […]

Rasmussen Reports has an interesting take on their Party Affiliation survey. While their conclusion that membership in both parties is down, the decline for the Democrats has been rapid since 2008, indicating that many who became Democrats during the Bush presidency have now become unaffiliated again, with those identifying as Democrats shrinking to the lowest […]
