Eric Cantor was defeated in a primary election two years ago. But in Virginia politics, Cantor is a lot like stepping in old chewing gum on a hot sidewalk. No matter what you do, you just can’t get rid of it. Now Cantor is still gumming up the works from the outside with organizations like […]

First SHAME on the Fairfax Chamber for not inviting business-friendly Libertarian Robert Sarvis to the debate. Here is a candidate running on a shoestring budget and he is polling at or near ten percent and they won’t invite him to the debate due to its reported “tradition” of only inviting major party candidates. I can […]

Indiana Senator Dick Lugar is Barack Obama’s favorite Republican. And Lugar has apparently caused Republican House MAjority Leader Eric Cantor’s heart to go pitter pat as Cantor’s PAC is begging Democrats to jump in and vote for Lugar in the Republican Primary. Lugar has gone from 5 points down before Cantor’s support to 10 points […]

Is it in the water? A time warp? This is the biggest year for Virginia politics since 1841. Virginia native (born in Winchester!) and resident Rick Santorum was the first resident of the Old Dominion to win a major party caucus – Iowa. Then Virginia resident Newt Gingrich wins the SC primary, another first for […]

UPDATE: December 28, 2011 @ 5:20 PM I wrote this post about 45 minutes ago criticizing RPV’s decision to remain silent on this issue without offering an explanation of what transpired. I know Chairman Mullins and quiet is not something he does well or often. And I rarely take issue with his leadership positions, this […]

The Blog Rankings are out for 9/25/2011! While I have managed to gather the data the past couple of weeks, a number of obstacles have managed to make things a bit more difficult. As soon as we got our lights back on from the hurricane, it seems that it has been one thing after another. […]
