Former Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Mississippi Governor Ray Mabus was sworn in as Navy Secretary last week after being confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • May 22nd, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Fred First’s 2nd book, What We Hold In Our Hands, reads much like how I imagine a conversation with him over an iced tea would proceed.

Democratic voters may wonder: How can Mr. Deeds beat presumptive Republican nominee Robert F. McDonnell, who beat Mr. Deeds in the attorney general’s race four years ago? The […]
