Well, there they go again. Polls should measure public opinion, not attempt to sway it. What makes for a good poll these days? Well, the same as always. A good sample size, I prefer at least 1,000.

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 [...]

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, [...]

I was gratified at this blog’s endorsement of Ron Paul and Tom White asked me to share a few words of my own.
