The Baltimore Sun covers the extraordinary efforts of the Obama campaign to flush Stafford County with scores of volunteers. 
And the article points out the astonishing turn of events:  Kerry in Stafford (2004):  37% of the vote; Obama in Stafford (2008): almost 47% of the vote.
Congratulations to Stafford Dems and Chair Marc Broklawski for being recognized.  Broklawski, said […]

As a new Senator, Barack Obama was mentored by Sen. Joe Lieberman. In 2006, the freshman Senator returned the favor by campaigning for Lieberman in Connecticut’s Democratic Primary for the U.S. Senate.
And we all know how that favor was returned…
As a result of yesterday’s general election, and depending upon the outcomes of the Senate races in Minnesota […]

We’ve been waiting for the results with bated breath. And now we can report that the Weekly Reader Poll of 125,000 elementary, middle, and high school students has Barack Obama winning the presidency in a landslide.
According to the poll:
Obama 54.7 percent

But before you all conclude that Fred2Blue has jumped the shark in reporting the […]

Everyday is a hard news day at the FL-S, don’t ya know.
Accompanying the saturation coverage of Sarah Palin’s Real America Tour visit to Herkamp Park (a venue you’d think from the reporting has more people in it today than Yasgur’s Farm in the Summer of ‘69) comes this delightful FL-S featurette about the Stafford County Republican who looks just […]

Apparently, it has been whisked away to stage Herkamp Park for today’s noontime visit of Gov. Sarah Palin.
The Farmer’s Market is a Fredericksburg institution, offering excellent quality produce to area residents and restaurateurs. 
Family farmers rely on this popular venue for their livelihood.  Certainly, they lost their income this weekend so that Sarah could make her photo-op appearance, today.
