A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!
I suspect that LG Bolling’s name recognition is better than you all are giving him credit for – especially among Virginians who he thinks are inclined to vote for him.
No Kaine for VP…the repercussions would be too negative here in Virginia.

Posted by vjp | Tuesday, July 29, 2008, 2:44 pmWeaker, yes. We were already behind in terms of unity, but then running as an incumbent, I think, makes even any candidate deficits.

Posted by vjp | Tuesday, July 29, 2008, 5:10 pmJust wondering… IF, just if Gov. Kaine accepted the VP position who would succeed him as governor?

Posted by Brian | Wednesday, July 30, 2008, 3:18 pmAre the stories about him true? That’ there’s a lot of buyers remorse from progressives?

Brian – that also depends on who you talk with
