His numbers here have steadily climbed, 54% in February and 55% in March. The President is also more popular here than Gov, Kaine (50%) and Sen. Webb (48%). Not surprisingly, Sen. Warner trumps them […]
Amazing post on Blue Commonwealth by editor-in-chief teacherken, one of the country’s best political bloggers, on the Wilderness Wal-Mart controversy. Here’s a taste:
Fredericksburg is in some ways the heart of the battles in Virginia. Three are of great importance. First came that of Fredericksburg itself, in late 1862, where the Union charge up Marye’s Heights led […]

Recently, […]
Not trying to freak anyone out, just an fyi.
Gov. Kaine says that a woman from Chesterfield and a man from the Northern Neck have been infected with swine flu. Both were recently traveling in Mexico. (h/t Washington Post)
