Let’s Cut The Superstition Out Right Now

Guest post by Friedman Walsh Kleinkrugman The mere hint of a 6.0 earthquake in Virginia, and the Washington Monument cracks and suddenly every bitter bitter clinger out there goes wild connecting dots between the natural event and current political events. No one is saying that this is an act of God, that this represents a […]

Virginia Feud: Radtke vs. Red State UPDATE: Palin/Perry ‘Proxy War’?

My co-blogger Smitty is a Virginian who first blogged here about Jamie Radtke, the Tea Party candidate in next year’s Republican primary to replace retiring one-term Democrat Sen. Jim Webb. In July, I added my own two cents in support of Radtke, writing: Her biggest obstacle is overcoming the GOP Establishment’s support for former Sen. […]

Going-In Position: The Opposite Of Jim Moran’s Ideas Are Good Ones

by Smitty (via Lee Hernly) VA-8’s Clown Prince of Goofballs, “Gentleman” Jim Moran, can be relied upon to touch his forehead to the deck whenever required for the President: Rep.

Jim Moran: Clownish Buffoon, Or Buffoonish Clown?

by Smitty (hat tip: BlogProf) Ol’ “Gentleman” Jim Moran just does Northern Virginia Proud: I suppose that, if you hold a condescending, equestrian viewpoint, and taxpayers are a flock of sheep to be shorn in support of your Vision of Progress, then Moran’s viewpoint may seem sensible. Moran’s point seems to be that if you’ve […]

System Shock: Straightforward, Positive Campaign Ad for Virginia’s Dianne Blais

by Smitty (via Allahpundit on Twitter) Allahpundit teases with the question of whether this is the greatest campaign ad ever. I suspect that such an award would go to one with maximal impact, which would probably be a Ladd Ehlinger outing. That said, the notion of a simple collection of jaunty couplets delivered by the […]

Radtke Reports 2nd Quarter Fundraising Numbers for Virginia Senate Campaign

Jamie Radtke is the Tea Party candidate in next year’s Republican primary for the Virginia seat being vacated by the retirement of one-term Democratic Sen. Jim Webb. Her biggest obstacle is overcoming the GOP Establishment’s support for former Sen. George Allen. While many conservatives know and admire Allen personally, Radtke’s grassroots campaign offers an opportunity […]

Allow Me To Disagree With Sen. DeMint

by Smitty Cubachi has Senator DeMint’s proposal for three terms for members of the House of Representatives and two terms for those in the Senate. Here is a better idea: repeal the 17th Amendment. Let the Senate return to representing the States. The States can treat Senate nominations like the President treats Supreme Court nominations. […]
