By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Sep 30th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

People who are stupid enough to vote for Eric Cantor* in the 7th deserve him as their congressman. It’s just too bad the rest of the country has to pay for their mistake.
Profiles in Leadership <snark>: After Cantor, the Chief Deputy Whip, failed to garner enough votes on his end to pass the bailout, he […]



Obama Has an “Appalachian Problem?”

By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Sep 30th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Yeah, OK. I think if anyone has a problem it’s the Appalachians. An “Obama problem.”
Sen. Obama’s rural outreach puts John Kerry to shame. But Obama can’t change his name, and he can’t change the way he looks. Also Kerry didn’t even compete in Virginia, while Obama has just taken the lead. Hell even Tennessee native Al Gore couldn’t […]

NLS: Bob McDonnell Threatens to Shut Down UMW Bookstore

By From http://fred2blue.wordpress.com • Sep 26th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Not Larry Sabato:
The campus book store was selling t-shirts that said “Obama was there, Biden was there, I was there”.  That’s a true statement, and a great souvenir for students of being part of one of the most historic campaigns in modern American history.
Bob McDonnell’s office called the bookstore and threatened to shut it down […]
