The following statement is from Mark Warner regarding the health care reform bill that won an important cloture vote last night in the U.S. Senate. Thanks to both of our U.S. Senators, Warner and Webb (I haven't seen a statement from him yet), for supporting this critically important' [...] 
As if the anti-smart-growth "aerial option" for Tysons Corner and the disgraceful no-bid, multi-billion-dollar, sweetheart deal to "Big Dig" Bechtel weren't bad enough, now comes this story (note: Scott Monett of TysonsTunnel.org told me all about this a long time ago, so obviously people have known about it' [...] 
The following tweets are courtesy of Kyle Blankenship, who attended Glenn Nye's "community forum" a bit earlier today. Overall, this looks like it was a huge #fail.
I just received the following email and was asked if I could post it. I think this is a worthwhile endeavor, so here you go!
Here are the FDL Action health care reform highlights for Friday, November 20.
I couldn't agree more with this.
From Roz Helderman at the Washington Post:Gov. Tim Kaine's office reports that it has now received a copy of a letter from Sen. Ken Cuccinelli, indicating that he will resign from the state Senate on Jan. 12, in preparation for his inauguration as state attorney general Jan. 16.
Based on these tweets, I'm baffled.Here are the FDL Action health care reform highlights for Thursday, November 19.
Courtesy of #acornfacts, I bet you never knew that...
Well, actually, there are some changes and some continuity, at least according to this report by Anita Kumar.Despite what a lot of politicos think, Levar Stoney, former executive director of the Democratic Party of Virginia, will not be returning to the party following his stint as political director [...] 
I'm hearing all kinds of rumors from Democratic sources on the Democratic Party of Virginia chair situation and other matters. With regard to the first issue, current chair Dickie Cranwell was reelected (for another 4-year term) in June, but after Virginia Democrats got crushed a couple of weeks ago,' [...] 
In a statement released by Harris Miller's Career College Association, it appears Brian Moran may have fudged on his resume. While Brian may have finished in third place in a three way race, losing to Creigh Deeds by 26 points, that hasn't stopped him from [...] 
Not surprising, but still pathetic.

Posted by The Green MilesFor once, I agree 100% with the Washington Post editorial board. It's unfair to expect politicians to be held accountable for every asinine thing that a supporter happens to say. But in this case -- when the supporter is among Mr. McDonnell's most prominent associates, and the level [...] 
I started off intrigued but leery about this proposal to fund school renovations, but the more I hear about it (including a conversation with Terry McAuliffe yesterday), the more I'm starting to like it. It certainly has a wide array of supporters, including George Allen (yes, our old' [...] 
The other day, I sent out questionnaires to both Democratic Congressional candidates - Krystal Ball and Scott Robinson - in the 1st Congressional District (currently misrepresented by Rob Wittman) Here are Scott Robinson's Q&A's; Krystal Ball's are here. After this, having spoken in person with' [...] Here are the FDL Action health care reform highlights for Tuesday, November 17.
On Monday, I listed what I believe to be Tim Kaine's "Top 20 Successes" as Governor. Now, as promised, here are his Top 20 Failures. Oh, and for anyone who says this is just "Monday Morning QB'ing," I recommend that you go to the Raising Kaine archives' [...]
