Elect Roemmelt
One of the folks I had a chance to chat with at the JJ Dinner was Bruce Roemmelt. Reading thru the Lefty Blogs feed, I ran across this post, which jogged my memory a bit. I almost never wear anybody's stickers or buttons. But Bruce is a special case. Not only did I ask for … Continue reading Elect Roemmelt
Redistricting = incumbent protection
An editorial in an early January edition of the Virginian-Pilot makes reference to the 1992 bill re-introduced by House Democratic Chairman Brian Moran (discussed here).

More on Wardrup
Kudos to the Virginian-Pilot for the second good editorial in as many days. Are there some new members of the editorial staff? Today's version focuses on Leo Wardrup (R-83rd) and his invocation of legislative privilege at a traffic stop, which Wardrup denies. The editorial writer didn't buy Wardrup's version of events: To accept Wardrup’s version, … Continue reading More on Wardrup
