The Shad Plank: Va. GOV: Deeds reshuffles campaign leadership...

June 18, 2009
Democrat Creigh Deeds won the party nomination in stunning come-from-behind fashion with the smallest campaign team in the field.  Now eyeing a matchup against Republican Bob McDonnell , Deeds is re-shuffling his campaign leadership and bringing in some experienced Virginia players. State Democrats will recognize a host of the names on this list - which is covering with the fingerprints of Mark R.Warner , Jim Webb and Timothy M. Kaine. The list also includes a technology guru from  Barac...

www.nvdaily.com: Telegraphing punches and the conventional wisdom

June 12, 2009
Lots of ink has been spilled in recent days over just what the "conventional wisdom" about campaign 2009 is going to be. Just how will the re-match between Republican Bob McDonnell and Democrat Creigh Deeds play out? Over at Tertium Quids, Norm Leahy thinks the conventional wisdom has yet to solidify. He's right. But when you spend as much time sitting up here in the Cheap Seats as we do, you learn to read the stitches on the fastball as it's coming toward you. Not that it takes a great deal...

Tertium Quids: A Setback for Richmond's Elite, and the Dawn of the Cantor Machine

June 10, 2009
The gubernatorial primary aside, there were a few interesting developments in Central Virginia that bear mentioning.One was the Democratic primary in the 69th district to replace Frank Hall. Some members of the local political gentry decided their candidate was Carlos Brown. Over the weekend, residents were greeted with a robo-call from sen. Don McEachin inviting folks to a (free!) fish fry where they could meet Mr. Brown and glad-hand with Sen. Henry Marsh and Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones.A nice...

Waldo Jaquith: The legislature?s most prolific copatrons.

June 10, 2009
The more time that I spend mapping the social relationships of legislators via their copatroning habits, the more fascinated that I am by this mechanism of exploring the General Assembly. It really is a powerful tool. (To see one of the ways I?m using it on Richmond Sunlight now, check out HB1721 , SB1436 , or HB2482 , where you can see a graph indicating the average partisan position of each bill?s cosponsors.) Here?s a less thoughtful usage of this data, but no less interesting: a listi...

VIVIAN J. PAIGE | All Politics is Local: Richmond Crusade for Voters controversy

June 2, 2009
I was a wee bit busy when the announcement was made of the endorsement of Terry McAuliffe by the Richmond Crusade for Voters. I did see that Sen. Henry Marsh, a long-time member of the historic black organization and a supporter of Creigh Deeds, was upset by the vote, as pointed out by the Richmond Times in the announcement linked above as well as the Washington Post . I happen to have spoken with another member of the Crusade ? also a Deeds supporter ? about a week ago. That person was e...
