Here are a few Virginia (and national) news headlines, political and otherwise, for Saturday, September 29. Also check out President Obama's weekly address, in which he "explains his administration's steps to help the housing market, including giving responsible homeowners a chance to save thousands of dollars every year by refinancing their mortgages, but he says we need Congress's help to do more."
P.S. Also see Bob Dole on life after losing the 1996 presidential election, for a reminder of what the Republican Party used to be (not that long ago, really). Also, what a stark contrast between the classy, serious, sane Dole and the...well, none of those things Romney.
