  Renaissance Ruminations — Authority: 128
  Last week I suggested that Tim Kaine would pick a special election date that gives the dems the best chance of winning the seats.  Given how things are going, I am picking the date as January 12th.

  Chris Christie was obviously wearing his; as was Robert McDonnell.  The GOP is officially breathing again.  It was a great day for Republicans Tuesday.  It happened exactly one year after we took our worst shellacking since the 1960s.  And, what did President Obama do while his party was getting whooped in two ...

  GayPatriot — Authority: 672
  Active in Virginia politics when living in Arlington in the 1990s, I reached a conclusion about most suburban “swing” voters, they are neither pro-gay nor anti-gay, but are rather anti-anti-gay, that is, they really don’t like candidates who make opposition to gay issues the centerpiece of their campaigns. ...
