Warner has a double-digit lead over Gilmore.
It’s queer to me: Here, the margin for this year’s Va. Senate race couldn’t be any wider; in ‘06, the Va. Senate race was the closest and most pivotal…In fact, I think Virginia should forever be branded the Swing State of the South.
I’m slowly but surely losing patience for the irresponsible whims of many of Virginia’s voters…
If the Commonwealth doesn’t do small businesses, the entrepreneurial sector, and working, middle-class Virginia families the justice of voting to alleviate their ridiculous tax burden, I’m going to devote the rest of my life to putting the opposition out of business. Maybe, then Kaine, M. Warner, Wilder, Webb, McEachin, the Morans, et al. would realize the insurmountable responsibilities that the American middle class must carry.
To draw from Gov. Palin’s remarkable words: “Here’s a little newsflash for [Obama & Co.:]” Most Americans aren’t born into the ranks of the intellectual elite; most of us aren’t awarded scholarships and grants based, in largest part, on the color of our skin, ethnicity, credence, etc; the majority of Americans simply don’t have the luxury of twiddling their thumbs all day, or buying time wining and dining with the Hill’s highbrows and upper crust.
It’s high time that America wake up from the delirium that has her thinking the interests of the Democratic party lie with the middle class.
