Virginia News Headlines: Sunday Morning

by: lowkell

Sun Oct 14, 2012 at 06:51:39 AM EDT

Here are a few Virginia (and national) news headlines for Sunday, October 14.

*Springsteen Hits the Road for Obama (PLEASE come to Virginia, Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!)
*Obama leads 51-46 in Ohio (If Romney loses Ohio, not to mention if he loses Virginia, there is no way he's going to be president. For our part, let's make sure he doesn't win Virginia!)
*The Self-Destruction of the 1 Percent ("America's superrich are eliminating the social mobility that creates wealth.")
*Third-party conservative Virgil Goode could derail Romney in Virginia ("The Ralph Nader of 2012 could be a slow-talking, 65-year-old former congressman from Virginia whose top issue is putting a stop to all immigration. Constitution Party candidate Virgil Goode has the potential...")
*Allen, Kaine court seniors (Except when Allen blows off a forum on Social Security and Medicare, as he did last week.)
*With the White House at stake, Virginia is back to a nail-biter (Agreed, so make sure you register to vote by tomorrow, and of course make sure you vote!)
*Candidates for the 6th Congressional District debate about economy, federal deficit
*Goodlatte, Schmookler content with debate performances
*Schapiro: Politicians duck details of Virginia's economy
*N.C. mayor wants uranium ban
("The mayor of Williamston, N.C., Tommy Roberson, has sent a letter to the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors in deep concern about how his area would be impacted...")
*In Chesterfield, it's the margin that matters ("Romney tries to restore GOP's historic edge, which Obama narrowed in 2008.")
*Sessoms for mayor in Virginia Beach
*Regional housing market shows signs of life
*Streetcars dominate Arlington County Board race
*Wait till next year

Where I spend my weekends, Gloucester Point and Grofton, Obama teams are finally getting out the yard signs (according to "experts" yard signs are worthless - according to real candidates your name every where is important). The disparity is about ten to one for Romney.

A friend and I need to sneak out so we can talk politics, she centrist/independent Dem, me flaming Progressive liberal Dem. The reason is everybody is so close in marinas that it is like a tiny village or mixed tree family. You don't want to start anything that ends with real bad feelings - especially being the only liberal amongst 16 of your dock mates. I would rather wait until December to talk about Obama winning.

We have had a couple of discussions during Saturday happy hours, which turn out that the Republicans are more Blue Dog Dem then they think. They do not see how far right the party is to where they are. However, many do not watch or listen to news, anywhere. They prefer to stay away from the real world, which is one reason for being sailors. I enjoy the weekends I forget my phone and cannot get a WiFi link. But, I return to the political world on Monday.

Obama and a straight Dem ticket this time.

Mere parsimony is not economy. Expense, and great expense, may be an essential part in true economy.
Edmund Burke
