After watching the debate a second time, I have to say that this one was better than yesterday's, at least in terms of content, Peggy Fox's questions notwithstanding. First, a point that I hope the Fairfax Chamber takes to heart: place the panel down in front of the candidates (like everyone else does) so that … Continue reading Webb V Allen: Round 3 update

Webb v Allen: Round 3
Just finished watching the latest Web/Allen debate. I'll get more up later as I really do need to get some work done today and I want to watch it again.
MTP: Webb v Allen

Nothing new came out in this exchange and … Continue reading MTP: Webb v Allen

Time - the candidate has to … Continue reading Time, money, people
Note to SurveyUSA: Mark ain’t John Warner
So I just got polled by SurveyUSA. Only problem was that the nice, automated female voice kept referring to Democrat John Warner instead of Democrat Mark Warner. One of the first series of questions was about approval/disapproval of various people - Bush, Kaine and Allen and John Warner. I didn't think much about it. But … Continue reading Note to SurveyUSA: Mark ain’t John Warner
