Moran forms PAC for 2009 gubernatorial

House Democratic Caucus chairman Brian Moran will establish a new PAC Friday, according to this AP story. Moran will not officially announce his run for governor until after the General Assembly session is over. So it seems were headed for an expensive primary, one I had hoped could be avoided. The Republicans are already gleefully … Continue reading Moran forms PAC for 2009 gubernatorial →

Election eve podcast

I was one of three guests last night on Johnny Camacho's podcast. Our primary conversation was about the 2008 elections and tonight's Iowa caucuses, in particular. We also chatted a bit about the 2009 gubernatorial race. Here's a direct link to the podcast. Check it out 😉

He’s at it again

Another year, another set of predictions from our local soothsayer, Pat Robertson. This time, God has told him who is going to win the election in November but he's not sharing that little bit of info. "He told me some things about the election, but I'm not going to say, because some old man on … Continue reading He’s at it again →

Landmark to be sold?

The Virginian Pilot is reporting that Landmark Communications, the Pilot's parent company, may be sold. Landmark is privately owned and boasts among its assets The Weather Channel, which The New York Times says is worth some $5 billion. I doubt if Landmark is just "looking into" a sale, as the Pilot headline indicates. “I can … Continue reading Landmark to be sold? →

Giving up on Richardson, I’m supporting…

Last August, I wrote the post below, after the Logo Democratic Debate. But because of all of the local races we had, I felt it was more important that I focus on those and not what was happening nationally. With the Iowa caucuses tomorrow, now is the time. The "question" did it for me. But … Continue reading Giving up on Richardson, I’m supporting… →

New Year’s resolutions

Reading The Virginian-Pilot this morning, I ran across an article on New Year's resolutions. Studies show most people don't keep their resolutions. A British psychologist last week pegged the success rate at 12 percent. Yes, I have goals. But they aren't tied to it being a new year. So this year, just like last year, … Continue reading New Year’s resolutions →

Headlights (and tail lights)

Driving to NoVA yesterday in the sometimes pouring rain, I was struck by how many cars did not have their headlights on. I understood it was the law that headlights were required (even though I've had no luck in tracking down the legislation). Note this information from the DMV (emphasis mine): Virginia law requires motorists … Continue reading Headlights (and tail lights) →

Waldo has put together a personalized bill tracking system for Richmond Sunlight called Photosynthesis. I just went over and put in all of the bills I mentioned in my legislative agenda series. You can see my list here. Way cool, Waldo. Way cool 😉 Oh - and you can follow your bills in your favorite … Continue reading Photosynthesis at Richmond Sunlight →

Sunday trip to NoVA

One of my oldest and dearest friends lives in Clifton. So we decided that I would visit sometime between Christmas and New Years. When the invitation came for Brian Moran's reception, I asked if Sunday would work and whether it was OK for me to stop in Alexandria first. She readily agreed. So up the … Continue reading Sunday trip to NoVA →
