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!
Enough, already!
I have long argued that a primary battle between Creigh Deeds and Brian Moran was a bad idea and have been calling for the DPVA leadership to step in and settle it before it gets out of hand.

National Ride (a motorcycle) to Work Day
Did you know today was National Ride to Work Day? Yep. There is an organization out there that encourages people to ride motorcycles and scooters.

Kaine for VP?
When Tim Kaine was running for governor in 2005, as is normal, they did a fly-around the weekend before Election Day. Traveling with Kaine was Barack Obama. Truth be told, at their appearance in Norfolk, people were much more enamoured with Kaine than they were with the junior Senator from Illinois. In February 2007, Kaine … Continue reading Kaine for VP?
