Criegh Deeds, in his own words, in today’s Washington Post:
The day after I’m elected, I will begin assembling a bipartisan commission to craft a comprehensive transportation package. Like Gov. Baliles did, I will appoint Republicans, Democrats and independents along with private-sector leaders and transportation experts. The commission would begin work in December and issue its [...]
Today Democratic gubernatorial nominee Creigh Deeds took part in a live interview through the Times Dispatch where he took questions from the public. Yours truely happened to have his question asked first. Look, ma, I’m on virtual TV!
For those that don’t want to watch the video, my question was this:
During the VBA debate at the [...]
Lynn Mitchell puts it best when she quotes an old carpentry saying:
“Measure twice … cut once.” In other words, be certain before putting saw to wood because there’s no turning back.
Yesterday, Ben Tribbett of Not Larry Sabato measured once and then cut clean through his thumb, posting a picture of a Confederate flag near a [...]

UPDATE: Cuccinelli responds to Brownlee below.
Today the John Brownlee for Attorney General campaign’s “The Brownlee Report” dictated that Brownlee was leading the fight to curb illegal workers in Virginia. How’s that?
In response to a question regarding illegal aliens and undocumented workers, John Brownlee said he strongly supports “the use of the U.S. government’s E-Verify [...]
How can you run to the right of someone in a primary and at the same time claim that other individual is too far right to win statewide?
Does this make sense to anyone?
UPDATE: I know there’s the usual “say one thing to appeal to the base in a primary and say another thing to appeal [...]
D.J. McGuire has announced his candidacy for Board Of Supervisors in Spotsylvania’s Lee Hill District. You may know DJ from his weblog Right Wing Liberal where you can also get a feel for not just where he stands on things but the zeal he brings to the issues at hand. It’s good to see strong [...]
Chris Marston is liveblogging the recount in the 46th House District where Republican Joe Murray is down in the special election by 16 votes.
Republicans, here’s your chance.
Joe Murray’s making one hell of a run for Tuesday’s special election in the VA-46. You know, Brian Moran’s old seat. The one Moran bailed on when he realized he needed to spend more time focusing on his race for Governor as opposed to his constituents.
Joe Murray is the Republican candidate and [...]
Arlington School Board member Dave Foster has sent out a letter announcing that he will announce his candidacy for Attorney General after the November elections. Whether that announcement will change should Tim Kaine become Veep is anyone’s guess.
The Letter - Page One -Page Two
UPDATE: Belated thanks to Steven for the scan.
Back on the 15th the John Brownlee for Attorney General campaign put out a press release that his campaign out raised Ken Cuccinelli’s in the quarter. Certainly the overall numbers speak for themselves (Brownlee - Cuccinelli) but looking deeper into Brownlee’s numbers something really stands out.
The largest contribution to the John Brownlee campaign was [...]
Sen. Ken Cuccinelli made it official today and announced his candidacy for Attorney General. That rounds out one hell of a 2009 ticket for the Republican Party.
That’s one hell of a ticket.
Bearing Drift, Virginia Virtucon, and Cathouse Chat have more but I’m sure you can expect a lot of talk about this in the blogosphere this week.
UPDATE: Rick Sincere has video of Sen. Cuccinelli addressing the Republican Liberty Caucus last Saturday available here.
UPDATE 2: If there was any question on [...]
Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling has scheduled an announcement this afternoon to discuss his plans for 2009. Sources are saying he may seek re-election to the LG spot.
Chris Green (aka STD) wondered why I support John McCain and why I chose now to express it. It’s a good question and one I answered back in the comments, but I figure I should share it here as well for anyone else who might find themselves scratching their heads:
I had avoided making a full [...]
George Allen has ruled out a run for governor in 2009. Democrats Sen. R. Creigh Deeds and Del. Brian J. Moran have both announced. No one has announced on the Republican side yet, though may expect a battle between AG Bob McDonnell and Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling.
