I remember when I spoke with Ben Chafin to congratulate him on his election to the House of Delegates last November. He is an attorney from Lebanon, VA and I was excited and happy for him. I fervently believe there should be more attorneys in the legislature. Lawyers bring their legal training to the fore […]

Four years ago the Republican Party entered a self imposed funk. Much like they are in now. So we didn’t knock off an incumbent president. That’s a shame. A crying shame. But the time for crying is over. Now it’s time to buck up and assess where we are. It seems pretty dark, but we are a […]

UPDATE: This is a good poll. I just received the cross-tabs from Gravis Marketing and the sample was 39% Democrats, 36% Republicans and 23% Other (Independents.) My only criticism is that there were too many Republicans and Democrats and too few Independents. But since the sample polled 3% more Democrats than Republicans and the relatively […]

While covering the efforts of those involved in the successful fight to end the Democratic Majority in the Virginia Senate in 2011, I met, spoke with and worked with a number of amazing people who are dedicated to purging the left wing scourge that had infested Virginia’s Senate. While we all hoped that the results […]

Actually, it is a 20 – 20 tie, but our Republican Lt. Governor will cast the tie votes, which means that the Senate is in Republican hands and the Democrats stone wall has been torn down. Decent legislation can now be sent to the Governor for his signature. There was an error in the totals […]
