From Crystal Clear Conservative: In perhaps one of the most widest margins in Convention history, Bill Bolling won the Lieutenant Governor’s nomination with a margin of 84-16. The next closest wide margin win was from 1985, when Buster O’Brien defeated Matthews by a margin of 72-28 in the Attorney General’s nomination. These are the unofficial [...]
I’ve returned home and I’ve had some time to consider the events of the past 48 hours. As I’ve already reported, the GOP ticket in Virginia consists of Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling, and Ken Cuccinelli. I will join with my fellow Republicans in working to get them elected to office for they have much to [...]
For those who haven’t followed either my Twitter feed or any of the fine coverage at Bearing Drift or Too Conservative, the votes have been cast and the results are in at the RPV Convention 2009. For Governor: Bob McDonnell For Lt. Governor: Bill Bolling For Attorney General: Ken Cuccinelli I offer my congratulations to [...]
The speeches are done and the voting has started. My take at this point is Bolling will win the nomination for 13:36:26. Gov., Mullins will take Chairman. As for the AG nomination… I believe Cuccinelli shows tremendous support here. Being realistic, I honestly think he’ll take the #1 spot but I don’t believe he’ll break [...]
As I sit here in my hotel room taking care of the little details on-line that need my attention I noticed that it’s now less than 12 hours to the start of tomorrow’s session of the RPV Convention. We have some important decisions to make. One of the more contentious will be who the RPV [...]
Well, I’m here in Richmond at the RPV convention. First up, I am twittering here, so check the link to my tweets over there on the right. So far the report of the rules and credentials committees have been approved. We’re listening to the various organization reports now. More to come! Update: As I mentioned [...]
As I mentioned in the last post a set of anti-Brownlee robo-calls have been hitting delegates to the 2009 RPV convention this weekend. It’s being reported at most of the region’s blogs including here at the Star City Harbinger where a recording is available if you haven’t gotten the call already. There is no doubt [...]
(See update at bottom with statement from Brownlee campaign.) People are reporting getting robo-calls attacking John Brownlee. Roanoke Valley Republicans post: Just got an anti-Brownlee robocall on my cell phone. If you’re a convention delegate, I bet you have or will get the same. It’s a terrible call with a kid yelling “why did John [...]
This is up on Bob McDonnell’s web site. The question has been put to the candidates as to their stands on the “card-check” legislation that seeks to remove employees’ right to secret ballots when unions want to move into their shops. Here’s how they answered: Only Bob McDonnell is concerned with keeping employees’ voting rights [...]
I noted over at Too Conservative this link to a great endorsement of John Brownlee for AG. From Virginia Qui Tam Law: When it comes to litigation by or against the Commonwealth, the buck stops on the desk of the Attorney General. It is the AG that makes the final call on whether to settle [...]
