A Fine Pawlenty Intro

by Smitty (h/t Political Byline) I’ve seen him live a couple of times, and he hasn’t disappointed.

Now, running for the Senate, Castle is essentially asking for the opportunity to vote for cap-and-trade again — potentially becoming the […]

At The Patrick Murray Campaign Kick-Off

by Smitty A healthy crowd (possibly breaking a hundred, but I really didn’t look carefully) turned out at the Army & Navy Country Club tonight to hear Gov. George Allen get the VA-8 campaign to elect Patrick Murray off to a good start. For my efforts, I was rewarded with a copy of Allen’s great […]
