Jim McKelvey talks a good talk but doesn’t seem to be able to walk the talk. It turns out that the $500,000 in self funding is coming from a line of credit that has been set up with his bank. The key word here is credit, aka loan, this from someone who finds fault with [...]
Michael McPadden has to answer a few questions concerning his most recent FEC report much better than he did when Bill Hay, Verga’s Campaign manager, questioned him on Joe Thomas’ morning show. When asked about personal disbursements to himself, his wife and his son in the total of $10,132.00 that was listed in the report, [...]
The numbers on 1st quarter 2010 fund raising have been in for a number of weeks now and now I will add my perspective on the numbers.

HR 2499 is a non-binding resolution in the House of Representatives that would allow Puerto Rico to decide if it wants to become a state in a two stage voting [...]

Tuesday, April 13, 2010 “Playing The Game” Dear Virginian, As I travel the district, representing Feda at different events and listening to voters, I [...]

This interesting article popped up yesterday on the thinkprogress.org website concerning the TEA parties and the fiasco with Tom Perriello’s brother’s home. More on the fiasco in an upcoming post. Pay particular attention to the paragraph right above the video. Don’t forget to watch the video. Excerpt: “Another Tea Party member who approves of what [...]
This post came up on another blog from a very vigorous poster and it really got me thinking. ‘this is not about the soul of the Republican party. this is about beating Perriello.’ I believe it is about both. We can and must achieve both. I think most candidates in the 5th can beat Tom [...]
“I have not yet begun to fight.” That phrase was uttered by American naval hero John Paul Jones as his ship was engaged in a battle with an English warship. Jones eventually lost his ship, but captures that warship that had asked if he was ready to strike his colors, ie, to lower his ensign [...]
