The Shad Plank: The GOP chooses sides in the U.S. Senate race
July 14, 2008
Democrat Mark R. Warner made a splash when he won the support of two key Republicans in his bid for the U.S. Senate. John Chichester and Vince Callahan, both now retired, chaired the General Assembly's money committees when Warner first cut spending then raised taxes. Chichester was in the Senate and Callahan was in the House of Delegates. Warner successfully pitched the 2004 tax increases as a way to right the financial ship of state. Both men say he charted the correct course. Now comes an...

July 10, 2008
The Virginia House of Delegates rejected a Democratic plan to raise several taxes to pay for transportion.

June 28, 2008
From The Washington Post: When Sen. Barack Obama chose the Nissan Pavilion in the outer suburbs of Northern Virginia to kick off his general-election campaign, one of the 10,000 supporters there was David Bruzas, who recently moved to the fastest-growing part of a state that is moving rapidly away from its Republican past. "Being in this area has made me a lot more politically in tune with what's going on," said Bruzas, 27, a systems engineer from Illinois who moved to Fairfax County to work ...
