Congressional staffer denies pushing visitor | Washington Examiner
November 5, 2009 at 10:30 pm | In Anti-Americanism., Congress, Virginia Politics, liberalism | Leave a CommentGerry Connolly has a history of showing a disrespect toward his constituents. He considers himself to be one of the “special people” who considers himself above everyone else, therefore, he does not have to answer to the little people. Hopefully, the people of Fairfax County will let him know exactly how they feel about him during his reelection.

Claims that NOVA and for that matter Virginia have gone purple or even blue are overblown.
November 4, 2009 at 11:11 pm | In Virginia Politics | Leave a CommentReversing recent trends, the GOP did very well in NOVA on Tuesday. Bob McDonnell won both Fairfax and Loudoun Counties. A lot of attention has been given to those two Counties by local media in attempt to determine if wins by the Dems were a sign of the future, or just the result of weak GOP candidates. However, I would say the results on Tuesday put to rest at least for now concerns that NOVA is a lost cause for the GOP. To further that evidence, the GOP also won three HOD races in NOVA, to add to their House majority.
The GOP brought the brooms out today.
November 3, 2009 at 11:58 pm | In City of Manassas, Prince William County, Virginia Politics | Leave a CommentAfter having suffered through back to back liberal wins, the GOP took back the Governorship today, and followed that up by winning the other two top positions. Jackson Miller as expected won reelection by a wide margin.
I was able to work a couple of hours at the polls and also attended the GOP celebration party at the Old Town Inn. Today was a great day for Virginia and the future is looking bright once again.
Election Day.
November 3, 2009 at 9:33 am | In City of Manassas, Prince William County, Virginia Politics | Leave a CommentIf recent polls hold true, Bob McDonnell will be our next Governor, and there is a chance the GOP will increase their majority in the House. Of course just winning the election is not enough. McDonnell will have to follow through on his campaign pledges and get our Commonwealth moving in the right direction. Otherwise, in four years, there will be another bruising election cycle if the GOP cannot show they have learned from past disappointments.
I’m scheduled to volunteer later today at the polls, so I’ll have a post later on what I saw and heard. Go out and vote.
Will the post attempt one last try at defeating McDonnell?
October 27, 2009 at 8:22 am | In Virginia Politics | Leave a CommentWesley Pruden, past editor of the Washington Times, has an interesting tidbit in his column.
“Now Mr. Deeds doesn’t want to talk about graduate-school scribbling at all, just as leaks from the Post newsroom reveal that the newspaper has a seven-part series ready for publication to prove that Bob McDonnell has had a lifelong hostility to those of the pink persuasion. He once pulled the pigtails of a little girl in the second grade, and as a third-grader he bounced a spitball, aimed at a male pal, off the shoulder of a girl two rows over. These are no doubt serious charges, violence against (tiny) women, sexual harassment and all that, but not likely to turn the tide of a runaway that is building in Virginia..”
Post endorses Jackson Miller’s opponent
October 27, 2009 at 8:18 am | In City of Manassas, Media bias, Prince William County, Virginia Politics | Leave a CommentIn another sign the post does not understand local politics is their endorsement of Jeanette Rishell. They call her “smart” and indicate she would be better at budget negotiations in Richmond, over Jackson Miller, who has spent three years in Richmond. Furthermore, they even admit Miller has shown a moderate streak, which is what they usually call for Republicans to have. But, obviously not when they are running against far left wackos, such as Jeanette Rishell.
Jeannette can’t even be honest about who endorses her campaign, can’t figure out there is no difference between a private gun sale at a gun show and one that does not take place at a gun show. She has made blunder after blunder. Yet, somehow the post feels she would make a better Delegate. The post should have just said we support very liberal candidates instead of trying to provide dishonest reasons to support her.

The latest post poll indicates McDonnell is surging in the run up to the election.
October 27, 2009 at 7:56 am | In Virginia Politics | Leave a CommentDespite the hammering of both Deeds and the post on McDonnell’s’ college thesis, McDonnell polled very well among women and independents. Furthermore, it appears from the data, that people view Deeds even more liberal then just a couple of months ago.
Meeting up with Jackson Miller.
October 24, 2009 at 2:18 pm | In City of Manassas, Prince William County, Virginia Politics | Leave a CommentI had the chance to meet up with Jackson Miller today, when he made an appearance at the Gun and Ammo warehouse in Manassas. The NRA also had a table in the parking lot. As usual, Jackson was very complementary of his opponent and is not looking past election day. I can’t say enough about Jackson and his focus on jobs, transportation, and families. I don’t have a problem stating he is going to win with a larger margin then he did last election.
In this case, the third time is not going to be a charm for Rishell.
October 23, 2009 at 9:23 pm | In City of Manassas, Prince William County, Virginia Politics | Leave a CommentThe MJM weighs in on the HOD race for the 50th district. Once you get by the mistakes of the Rishell campaign, there’s not much written about her. I’m sure the reporter wanted to do a fair job, but it’s a hard job when trying to cover a candidate as poor as Jeanette is.
Does she really think that all 5,000 new voters in the district will vote for her? If so, she really is out there. Though, I’m sure Jackson would not mind seeing her in 2012, since she’s such an easy opponent to defeat.

The Dems are already starting to play the cover and blame game.
October 23, 2009 at 1:16 pm | In National Politics, Virginia Politics, obama | Leave a CommentElection day is still a few days off and already National and State Dems are starting to play the blame game on why Deeds lost the election. Of course this is more about protecting obama then anything else.
However, given the recent State wide elections in the Commonwealth, having only one other Gubernatorial race in the Country(in very blue New Jersey) and with the Chairman of the DNC holding elected office in the Commonwealth, it’s a train wreck for the Dems. This is a race, they simply had to win in order to show obama has some coat tails leading up to the 2010 elections, where the stakes are much higher.
Could timmy also be out as DNC chairman if the GOP wins not only VA but also in NJ? Stay turned. It could get very entertaining to see the Dems implode.
