When I ran against Bob Marshall one of the things I was slow to figure out was the support he received from the environmental protection community. I was really dumbfounded when the League of Conservation Voters did not even offer me a courtesy interview. They just happily endorsed Bob. And of course little old progressive me got bupkus. Knowing Bob’s record on environment issues fairly well...

And Jim Bowden explains why. You know, i've been reading these Lyndon Johnson biographies and there is a great quote in one by Sam Rayburn where he says, "it only takes a jackass to knock a barn down, but it takes a carpenter to build one. " It struck me as something that Virginia Republicans should think about. We need carpenters, and Bob Marshall isn't just a conservative saying "no no no,"...

Del. Bob Marshall is just taking his annual torrent of useless, not-a-chance-in-hell bills and refiling them with vague references to transportation as a part of this special transportation session of the General Assembly. His bill to consolidate the Virginia Museum of Natural History and the Science Museum of Virginia didn’t even get out of [...]

Bob Marshall-Andrews From the same Guardian article as the previous post... "He(Davis) hopes to run the campaign on small donations from ordinary people, and stage genuine debates engaging everyone from politicians and those who have directly experienced terrorist violence to ordinary people. It could be, said one aide, an 'Obama-like' campaign for the masses. Such rhetoric may sound overblown....

The strong and growing opposition to detention for 42 days has created strange and wonderful bedfellows. Lord Peter Goldsmith, the former Attorney General, joins the usual Labour suspects in predicting ethnic and racial tension. (In view of his responsibility for the Iraq war this may reek of atonement, but the apostasy remains remarkable nonetheless.) Lord Falconer, devoid of his many jobs, embraces...

I for one would like to see Del. Bob Marshall become Speaker Marshall. That is not so much a reflection on the job that Howell has done; because compared to the vanquished GOP Senate Leadership, Howell looked real good. HB 3202 was a debacle however, and this is my take on the whole thing, and more. The Transportation crisis that won’t go away. Didn’t we supposedly have a $600M dollar...

Waldo Jaquith questions Bob Marshall's claim on campaign millage: Bob Marshall to join Hendrick Motorsports? Del. Bob Marshall, in his glorious, glorious refusal to endorse Jim Gilmore for U.S. Senate, makes the hilarious claim to Tim Craig that "he put 215,000 miles on his car during his Senate campaign this spring." Let's generously say that "spring" began January 1, giving...
