*McDonnell VP buzz starts back up (Oh, PLEASE pick T-Bob, that would be hilarious!)
*Virginia won't further probe charges of illegal voter registration
*Va board seeking probe of Goode ballot signatures

*Dulles Rail awards contracts to 2 insiders (MWAA=Corrupt Cesspool)

No SBE Surprise (4.00 / 1)
Well, well, well...The State Board of Elections, controlled by the GOP, wants the AG to "investigate" the signatures turned in by Virgil Goode to get on the ballot in November. My prediction is vindicated. The GOP will do everything it can to keep Virgil off the ballot. Why? He might well draw 2-4% of the vote Romney would otherwise get. That would guarantee an Obama win.

Goode still has a week or two to collect signatures. He would be wise to redouble efforts and do signature overkill. I'm rooting for him :-)
