A lot of you may not be following Virginia House of Delegates races too closely (an easily forgivable oversight, perhaps), but I wanted to draw everyone's attention to one race in particular that I've been working a lot on recently. I think these smaller races are critical for a number of reasons, both practically - we're six seats from taking back the Virginia House of Delegates, a body which will at least partially responsible for Virginia's redistricting and, consequently, the futures of Reps. Nye and Perriello - and in terms of how the success or failure of Democratic candidates in an off-year following President Obama's election will influence the national narrative when there're no other tea leaves to read. More below the fold.

In 2004, Dick Wadhams created an ad for John Thune in his race against then Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle. The ad was entitled "In His Own Words," and was widely considered the most effective ad of the entire cycle - it certainly made the difference in a race that was decided by only a few thousand votes. The ad was brutally simple - it was a video montage of clips of Daschle himself, praising Hillary Clinton, claiming to be a "D.C. resident," and proudly supporting a woman's right to choose. Well guess what Dick? It's our turn. Read More

On a tip from several here at Daily Kos, I trudged down to the Albemarle Co. Courthouse the other day to do a little digging. What I found there, buried in the shelves of the historical record room, presented a lot more questions about Allen's past; namely, why was there a warrant for George Allen's arrest in 1974? And was that warrant related to the criminal hearing he attended on February 15th, 1973? These are serious questions that need to be answered, Senator Allen. I'll be awaiting your response.

I've never really posted a real diary here before, but after being confronted by a waiter the other night at Outback Steakhouse - literally, in the middle of my dinner - about how America's tax code is broken and the Fair Tax is the only solution, I figured I finally had something to write about. I live in GA-07 and am unfortunately represented in Congress by John Linder, the man who's been pimping H.R. 25 (also known as the FairTax Act) on the floor of the House since 1999, so this is not the first time I've encountered an ardent supporter of the FairTax. When confronted by this garrulous garçon, however, I felt woefully ill-prepared to counter his fantastical claims that the FairTax Bill was a taxation panacea. I knew on some level that he was probably being misled, but it took a great deal of research for me to discover just how misled, and just how full of crap those pushing this bill on the floor of Congress truly are.
