swacgirl.blogspot.com: Howell v Amy: Are endorsements helping ... or hurting?
May 13, 2008
I am beginning to wonder just how much good elected endorsements are doing these days. With the recent letter of endorsement from Speaker Bill Howell for RPV Chairman John Hager, and the rebuttal from Amy Frederick whose husband Jeff is running against Hager, it would seem elected endorsements are hurting the cause. The electeds are being lined up as The Establishment GOP, the Old Guard, the ones who stick together no matter what. An example is the story of what happened in SWAC and the 24th S...
thecontemporaryconservative.blogspot.com: Response from Frederick...Mrs. Frederick
May 13, 2008
Response from Frederick...Mrs. Frederick I guess Mrs. Frederick and Speaker Bill Howell won't be having tea anytime soon with the open letter she just wrote regarding a letter she received about why the speaker is supporting the other candidate for RPV Chair. Oh, an by the way the post by RBHayes19P was not a hit piece but documents thought worthy to post to highlight perceived hypocrisy in a candidate...we welcome a response by Del. Federick and I will personally post it here without edit. ...
tertiumquids.blogspot.com: Blame Canada
May 12, 2008

masonconservative.typepad.com: Another Friend Joins The Cause
May 2, 2008
D.J. McGuire, the muckraking author of Right Wing Liberal and fellow unapolegetic Civil War Unionist, has announced his support of Delegate Jeff Frederick for Chairman of the RPV. The Chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus writes thusly: The painful fact is this: the Republican Party of Virginia has lost its way. Ever since the tax hike of 2004 (when lest anyone forget, the Senate Republican caucus demanded a tax hike twice the size of what the Democratic Governor requested), we have over-r...
Raising Kaine The Voice of Progressive Virginia : Road Money to Run Out, House GOP Says "Tough Luck"
April 3, 2008
This is what things have come to in Virginia regarding transportation: Gov. Timothy M. Kaine told legislators Wednesday that the highway construction budget will be nearly depleted within a decade, but House and Senate leaders remain sharply divided over whether a statewide tax increase is needed for transportation. [...] Howell also questioned the Kaine administration's premise that highway construction money could dry up soon. In response, Senate Majority Leader Richard L. Saslaw (D-Fairfax...
