... this instance of Marsden part of an overall record of shallowness. He was a Republican working for Ken Cuccinelli, then a Democrat because Dillard couldn't get his way, and now this . . . lets paint Marsden with a broad brush of being a political oppurtunist who looks out for himself first.

On a serious note- this just shows once again why we need to close Virginia primaries. It's an insider vs. outsider type issue- and one I am hoping we can work with GOP outsiders like Attorney General-Elect Ken Cuccinelli to get changed. On a lighter note-...
