That's mainly the area around DC.  8 of 11 VA Congressmen, the Governor, Lt Governor, and Atty General are Republicans, and the GOP controls 2/3 of the lower legislative chamber.  The upper chamber is split, and both US Senators are Democrats.  VA leans more red than blue.  An interesting side race is Allen vs Kaine pitting two former governors for Webb's Senate seat.  If Mitt wins VA, I think we're picking up that Senate seat, too. 

Good to have James back podcasting again!

Dave, praying for a swift and speedy recovery for you.  

It's a state by state race not a national one.  Unless Sabato can show the same results for every single state, using national polling tells us virtually nothing.

Any time these political pieces start circulating with who spent what, I immediately start suspecting the numbers because it seems like someone is always manipulating definitions or accounting to make the numbers support their argument.  I wish there were more plain-spoken truth like what King has put forth he to dispel this misinformation.

Mollie, the reason you had a different experience in San Francisco is that they opted not to use TSA employees, but rather, they employ a private firm to do their screening.  Stossel had mentioned this on one his programs recently and indicated they have a higher success rate at finding contraband when given the same tests as TSA employees.

Kill it and grill it.

May you fall asleep beneath a camel with post-nasal drip.  Loved Carson.  Stayed up late during college to catch reruns of the Carson Comedy Classic showing the old skits.  Bought all the DVDs I could get from his site before they stopped releasing them.

Just as bad is the fact that we have federal agents so gutless they will toe the line and do it because they were told to.

The age of the child is surprising, but it's the sheer exhibitionism on display that's the problem.  I can't look at that cover without thinking that photo is all about her and not about her child or breastfeeding.  Ablow at FoxNews voices many of the same concerns.

Loved the movie, and that they didn't water down Cap.  It makes an excellent contrast with the personalities of the others.  One of my favorite scenes is the point where Cap takes charge and calls out positions and tactics, and the others fall in line and start working as a team.  In a group of powerful individuals, the one arguably with the least individually power leads because he has the will to do so.  In Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man, you have strength, intelligence, and power, but Cap is the heart and soul of the Avengers.

This will not end well.  Would the last sane person in France please turn off the lights?

Sounds like y'all are having a blast!  Safe travels to the both of you.

I see the same things.  Appeals are based on emotionalism and devoid of logic or forethought.  And there's really no discussion to be had.  Anyone who disagrees is simply a hater and no attempt is made to refute criticism or make a reasoned defense.  Isn't this what Jonah Goldberg just wrote a book about?

I think you're right.  If the black electorate voted the same way they answered polls about single-issues, there would not be a monolithic bloc voting Democrat year after year.

And people wonder why I'm so pessimistic about the future of our country.
