Mitt Romney hosted a fundraiser for Bob McDonnell last night. Another shrewd, brilliant move from the McDonnell campaign. First Sheila Johnson, now Willard?!

Also, the fundraiser was held at the American Gas Association….<insert “Romney is full of hot air“ joke here>.

That makes the fact that he believed working women were “detrimental” to the family when he was 34 years old even more indefensible:

This one is a great response to Tom Davis‘ bizarre and insulting claim that rural politicians from outside NOVA aren’t qualified to be Governor:

Del. Chris Peace tweets on Saturday:
Finding some symbolism in the fact I made a firearm purchase today.
Then this on Sunday:
RT: @LarrySabato Millions of Americans lived through 3 POTUS assassinations: Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley in a span of just 36 yrs.
That’s not at all creepy.
Like Crabill and the rest of the teabaggers, Del. Peace thinks that the […]

I’ve thought for a long time that Chris Saxman has a very bright future in the GOP. I also fail to see the logic of a Republican who condemns Crabill, but refuses to back either candidate in the 99th House District (who’s Congressman Rob Wittman going to vote for in November?). So this doesn’t come […]

USA Today:
Airplane owners in Stafford County, Va., got a huge break in April. The county eliminated its tax on airplanes. That was done to match the policy in place at nearby Leesburg Executive and Manassas Regional airports.
The 29 people with small airplanes at the Stafford Regional Airport will see an average tax break of $655 […]

UPDATE: Some bizarre backtracking from the 1st CD Republicans. Who the hell knows what goes on in Crabill Land™.
Yeah, keep telling me that Catherine Crabill doesn’t really represent the Republican Party.
I’m Surrounded by Idiots:
On July 13, 2009, the First Congressional District Committee contributed $1,500 to Crabill’s campaign. On August 24, 2009, ten days after Bob […]

Due to his leadership position in the House GOP Conference and extensive ties to high-powered lobbyists (Jack Abramoff named a sandwich after him and a lobbyist started a ‘Draft Cantor for VP’ site last year), Eric Cantor is probably the safest incumbent Republican in Virginia’s congressional delegation. That’s why this high-profile challenge  from Charlie Diradour, […]

Good for them:
U.S. Reps. Eric I. Cantor, R-7th, and Robert C. Scott, D-3rd, will assess health-care reform at the next Richmond Times-Dispatch Public Square.
The event is scheduled for 10 a.m. Sept. 21 at the Times-Dispatch’s downtown offices, 300 E. Franklin St.
Scott wouldn’t be my first choice, since he’s the most liberal member of Virginia’s congressional […]

ABC News:
Matt Kibbe, president of FreedomWorks, the group that organized the event, said on stage at the rally that ABC News was reporting that 1 million to 1.5 million people were in attendance.
At no time did ABC News, or its affiliates, report a number anywhere near as large. ABCNews.com reported an approximate figure of 60,000 […]
