www.fairfaxdemocrats.org: FCDC Chair Responds to FCRC Promoting New Crop of Candidates

June 11, 2009
The Fairfax County Republican Committee recently issued a press release trumpeting their latest crop of candidates.  Here is FCDC?s analysis. First, if the Republicans are going to challenge our candidates, they ought to first get their facts straight. There are 17 House of Delegate districts with precincts in Fairfax County, not 16. This list leaves out the 49th (also, they don?t have a candidate in the 37th). One of their three remaining Delegates, Tom Rust, actually represents the 86...

Waldo Jaquith: The legislature?s most prolific copatrons.

June 10, 2009

Here?s a less thoughtful usage of this data, but no less interesting: a listi...

June 5, 2009
Coming out of the Republican Convention last weekend, many Democrats quickly expressed confidence that Steve Shannon would easily be able to defeat Ken Cuccinelli for Attorney General.  Let's take a quick look at Steve's election results and see if there is anything to back up that optimism. Steve has won three elections to the House of Delegates in 2003, 2005, and 2007.  In 2003 Steve ran for this open seat, which was open from Jeannemarie Devolities-Davis moving up to the Virginia S...

too conservative: House of Delegates Q2 Reports

June 2, 2009
This is actually half of Q2, due to the 15-day requirement before the June 9 primary, so the dates covered are between April 1 and May 27, 2009. Like last time, I?ve included races in Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, Loudoun, and PWC. Much, much more below the fold.
