The Virginian Pilot today profiled the two candidates running in the 14th Senate district - Republican incumbent Harry Blevins and Libertarian challenger W. Donald Tabor, Jr.

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!

And it’s Miller in the 1st
If that headline looks familiar, then it's because it is 🙂 I used that headline when announcing John Miller's selection as the Democratic nominee about 3 1/2 months ago. It is appropriate again today as he received the endorsement of The Daily Press. There's a choice on Nov. 6, and it could not be more … Continue reading And it’s Miller in the 1st
Where the candidates stand: payday lending
Another good issue to look at, The Virginian Pilot today shows the candidates' stand on payday lending. For those who are unfamiliar, Virginia has a limit on interest rates of 36% - except for payday lenders, who are allowed to charge rates approaching 400%. (The statute allows for a fee of $15 per $100 borrowed.) … Continue reading Where the candidates stand: payday lending
BD live blog OTR
Bearing Drift live-blogged this morning's On the Record. I missed out, since the best I can do on Sunday morning is roll out of bed in time to watch the show 😦 Head on over, anyway, and check out the comments.
Where the candidates stand: redistricting
Today's sidebar on the op-ed page of The Virginian Pilot addressed the issue of redistricting. This is, of course, an issue that is more important than a lot of people realize, and was a topic of discussion at the Norfolk Drinking Liberally gathering earlier this week. I addressed the details of this in an earlier … Continue reading Where the candidates stand: redistricting
HRTA studies…. tolls!
According to this report, the Hampton Roads Transportation Authority is going to study how much revenue can be produced by tolling. Hmm - I think I mentioned that a couple of times 🙂

ODU Candidates forum
The Ted Constant Center at Old Dominion University was the setting for last week's candidates' forum. (I inadvertently left my camera in the car so I don't have any photos from the event.) Spread across the dias were ten candidates, representing the races in the 6th and 13th Senate districts, and the 21st, 78th, and … Continue reading ODU Candidates forum
Miller clarification on Pre-K
You will note in the graphic in the post below on candidate positions, the Pre-K one shows that Delegate Paula Miller disagrees with the Virginian Pilot's position on Governor Kaine's Pre-K proposal. I was quite surprised to see that, especially since I have heard Miller say on several occasions that she supports the proposal. Thinking … Continue reading Miller clarification on Pre-K
