In the midst of the convention last week, I caught this story about Mark Warner turning down the League of Women Voters’ invitation to debate Jim Gilmore in a live, televised state-wide event. I was reminded of it when reading the editorial in Thursday morning’s Virginian Pilot. Gilmore, typically, thinks that Warner is ducking him. “I think [...]

Both AP reporter Bob Lewis , and RTD reporter Tyler Whitley have sensed exactly how much trouble Mr 'twenty point lead' Mark Warner is in, and have returned to regurgitate the $6 billion dollar deficit lie of Mark Warner. Just in case Whitley's article wants to disappear from normal searches, this is what he says: Warner pushed through the General Assembly a $1.4...

What is Mark Warner afraid of? He is afraid of you the voter knowing the truth. Gilmore attacked the heavily favored Warner for dodging televised statewide debates with him. Later he defended a campaign ad that calls Warner a liar for pledging in 2001 not to raise state taxes, then backing a $1.4 billion tax increase when he was governor. Warner, who refused an invitation...

Hereâs a little blast from the not-so-distance past. Specifically, November of last year when Conservative candidates Mark Warner and Brent Barr â earnest and decent fellows by all accounts â were both summarily dumped by the party at the behest of âMr. Nice Guyâ Stephen Harperâs shadowy backroom political fixer, Doug Finley. At the time [...]

There was a piece in the Toronto Star talking about Doug Finley and his role in the Conservative Party. In that piece it mentioned how no Conservative candidate can run without his permission, and it brought up 2 rather specific examples of this - Mark Warner being ousted in Toronto, and Brent Barr in Guelph. [...]

A little video from Congressman Bobby Scott’s Labor Day picnic. I’ve also got Mark Warner’s remarks but they will have to wait. (Working with video takes way too much time )

It may be Mark Warner's last year as the head coach of the San Diego State volleyball team, but the veteran is not rushing into things. Coming off a tough Aztec Invitational, SDSU has been playing hard, aggressive ball throughout their preseason schedule, focusing on getting ready for the regular season. The Aztecs will be looking to continue this trend as they head to the Baylor Classic...

It was said about the Democratic Convention, this year, that though the keynote address was by Mark Warner, no one cared. The speech that night by Bill Clinton was the one that got all the press. It's true at the RNC Convention. Nobody cares about Rudy's keynote. All ears and eyes are on Alaska Governor Sarah "The Barracuda" Palin . Sarah Palin scored in the final seconds of her high...

It was hot out there but the annual gathering of pols at Bobby Scott’s Labor Day Picnic was a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from the event. If I have time later today, I’ll get up the video I have of Tim Kaine, Jim Webb and Mark Warner speaking. As always, click to [...]

Reports are coming in. The crowd was huge and I am hearing Jim Gilmore cleaned a red faced Mark Warner's clock. From the "Drill Now" oil rig floats to the speeches it sounds like Warner was rattled! I am also hearing Warner the debate ducker has agreed to a debate in less than 20 days. Kinda funny since Lowell Feld posted recently "...future Senator Mark Warner...

Can anyone argue with this? Labor Day opens Virginia's political season The Washington Times Buena Vista, Va. - Republican James S.
