Karl Rove talks with John Gibson about today’s failed vote. Since this was radio, the added “video” gets a bit annoying. But Rove is spot on in his analysis.
Regardless of your opinion of the bailout bill, this simply cannot be viewed as anything other than a political failure by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid […]

Confused by what’s happening to the economy? Don’t understand why there’s a call for a bailout? Don’t understand who or what caused this?

[The Write Side of My Brain] Well, Jim Gilmore didn’t need this
Posted by Michael in September 19th 2008 under: 2008 U.S. Senate, Jim Gilmore, Mark Warner, aggregated
Let’s face it, I’m supporting Jim Gilmore more because I don’t want Mark Warner as my Senator, and because of Warner’s revisionist budget history than any other reason.
But Gilmore doesn’t need people like this around.
Gilmore Suspends His Communications Director

[The Write Side of My Brain] Mark Warner breaks another promise…
Posted by Michael in September 13th 2008 under: 2008 U.S. Senate, Jim Gilmore, Mark Warner, aggregated
…and decides to debate after all.
After turning down an inviation from the League of Women Voters, Mark Warner has finally relented to the pressure and agreed to another debate with Jim Gilmore.
I honestly don’t know how Gilmore can turn this around, but Mark Warner should not be allowed to get away with his revisionist history.

Senate GOP Blocks Ending Energy Bill Debate

Senate Republicans Friday blocked efforts by Democratic leaders to end debate on an energy speculation bill, seeking to force continued discussion on energy policy all the way to the start of the August recess.

[The Write Side of My Brain] Mark Warner: I did not need to raise taxes

D.J. didn’t even have to run this one through the translator, he’s got Warner in his own words admitting (more or less) the tax increase wasn’t necessary to balance the budget.
The right-wing liberal: Mark Warner has been contradicted by . . . Mark Warner
Mark Warner knew even in 2004 that his tax increase was not necessary, […]

We asked the question a couple of weeks ago, and noted that Riley was speculating Clinton revenge against Mark Warner for not doing their bidding. Is Riley onto something?

[The Write Side of My Brain] Gilmore-Warner Debate: The reviews are in
Posted by Michael in July 20th 2008 under: 2008 U.S. Senate, Jim Gilmore, Mark Warner, aggregated, gilmore, warner
The right-wing liberal: So THAT’s where all the money went in Virginia.
So, if you want to know why your taxes went up, and (for Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads) why you’re snarled in traffic, today’s debate gave the answer: it was so Mark Warner could knock out low-income private health insurance and expand government controlled […]
[The Write Side of My Brain] Mark Warner is the 16 Second Man

Virginia Virtucon: Mark Warner - Two Lies in 16 Seconds
Bearing Drift: Mark Warner and his “promises”
Scott’s Morning Brew: Mark warner is a liar…
The right-wing liberal: Not even Warner’s 2001 comments are immune from the translator
Take it from somebody who doesn’t want to vote for Jim Gilmore. Mark Warner’s not telling the truth about his budget “deficit.”
I’m no huge fan of Jim Gilmore, but it would be a crying shame if Mark Warner is able to get away with his claims of being fiscally responsible. He’s responsible alright. But not in the manner he would like you to believe.
Money can’t change the facts about Warner’s record

Riley seems to think so: Storm Clouds on Horizon for Mark Warner
Virginia Virtucon and Scott’s Morning Brew both have the story of Mark Warner’s continuing bad grades in math. Misplacing money. Unnecessary tax hikes. The latest is the story of his failed venture capital funds.
Of course according to the article in The Washington Times, Warner says he’d try it again. After all, it took him 2 […]
[The Write Side of My Brain] D.J. Dismantles the Washington Post
Posted by Michael in June 17th 2008 under: 2008 U.S. Senate, Jeffersoniads, Jim Gilmore, Mark Warner, aggregated, budget, gilmore, the washington post, warner
And sets the record straight on the Gilmore and Warner administrations.
Usually, the Post tries to rebuild its left-wing credibility by whacking Virginia Republicans (the Maryland GOP will be off-limits for a while in light of the Ehrlich incident), and over the weekend, they went after Jim Gilmore. Ostensibly the Post’s editorial-page hit-job was for […]
[The Write Side of My Brain] Quick, who said this?

I have decided not to run for [Vice] President.
I know these moments are never going to come again. This weekend made clear what I’d been thinking about for many weeks-that while politically this appears to be the right time for me to take the plunge-at this point, I want to have a real life.
And while […]
Badrose tells us that speaking of the Warner/Obama show in Bristol, Andrea Mitchell had this to say:
MITCHELL: Interesting images today. Barack Obama, Mark Warner in southwest Virginia. This is real redneck, sort of, bordering on Appalachia country. This is not the Northern Virginia, you know, sort of high-tech corridor. And these are voters that he […]

Gilmore shuns Bush in race for Senate
The Washington Times
James S. Gilmore III, who seeks Virginia’s U.S. Senate seat, yesterday dramatically distanced himself from President Bush on trade, immigration, spending and energy, and even likened the president’s hat-in-hand request of the Saudi government to boost oil production last week to Sen. Barack Obama’s call to negotiate […]

So I get an email with this press release from the RPV entitled: Virginia Republicans Launch Statewide Effort to Strengthen Grassroots
It’s a noble effort being lead by Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling and Party Chair John Hager. The release says:
