swacgirl.blogspot.com: Democrats feuding over Kaine's transportation proposals?

May 16, 2008
"Governor Kaine wanted the Democrats in the House and the Senate to get behind one set of proposals, and that is just not going to happen."- Sen. R. Creigh Deeds (D-Bath) Uh-oh. Sounds like trouble on the democrat side of the aisle. Thursday's Washington Post reported: The internal battle between House and Senate Democrats over what taxes should be increased represents a turnaround in Virginia politics. For much of this decade, it has been moderate and conservative Republicans who have been divi...

Blacknell.net: CA Supremes: Enough with the Second Class Citizenship

May 15, 2008
Today the California Supreme Court determined that California law may not prevent marriage between two people simply because they are the same sex.

As all of you know I support Creigh Deeds. He has been a mentor and an inspiration to me. I admire his determination and intellect and his absolute commitment to serving all Virginians. I am not working for Senator Deeds, I will try to help him win by talking to people, raising money and blogging abo...

notlarrysabato.typepad.com: Scenario Watch: Obama Picks Webb for VP

May 10, 2008
This is the first of a three part series- with both Jim Webb and Tim Kaine being rumored for Vice President to Barack Obama- we will take a look at both potential selections- and then analyze which candidate would be better for Obama nationwide and in Virginia (which may not be the same). ----------------------------------------------------------- There are a lot of things Jim Webb would add to a national Democratic ticket- which I don't need to go over here. But if he was selected- how would...
