WELCOME
I started this blog to talk about local politics, specifically Norfolk politics. It is impossible
to talk about Norfolk in a vacuum, so you'll also find some regional, state, and national politics. And sometimes, no politics at all.
The inspiration for this blog comes from one of Virginia's most respected forefathers:
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
Thomas Jefferson, 1820

I scored a nine also – I need to get a life!

Capitol News Connection is looking for people to call in to their taped interview with VA Senator Jim Webb. Webb is taking calls on the topic of National Security and Economic Security ***today*** at 2:30 PM. What are the big issues the next President and the next Congress will face?

Note: since it’s not live, people listening to the radio won’t be able to call in – it’s just for folks in the know. Email tsnyder@cncnews.org if you’d like to participate.
8/10 – missed the “all of the above” Biden coal question and the perk for VPs.
“10 — You’re unanimously elected!”
LOL – Getting elected isn’t that easy unless you’re in the GOP
I missed the perks question for VPs (I knew that happened but I thought it had happened much earlier in the year, so I thought the correct answer was a trick answer, and guessed at something else). Also didn’t know about the party ID on the ballot question.
I missed the perks question. Hadn’t heard a word about it.
9/10…. Since Lieberman is not a member of the Democratic Party, I felt mislead.
Will he be asked to leave the CAUCUS???? If so, I got 9 out of 9!
Hay have you heard about this Guy Anthony Triplin. He is running for Virginia House District 89 (Norfolk). I have heard his war chest is 10k and growing right now and he is only 24. He has some really great views. I am in his district and I like him rather than the incumbent right now. (and he is an Independent
