 Here are a few Virginia (and national) news headlines, political and otherwise, for Sunday, October 21.
*Tim Kaine for U.S. Senate (The Virginian Pilot says, "Without a doubt, the answer is Tim Kaine," and that "Allen's record from his single six-year term in the Senate, starting in 2001, is plagued with the kinds of votes that are toxic to any fiscally responsible voter, as well as the candidate Allen now claims to be...")
*Battle for Virginia intensifies ("With just 16 days to go, the fight for Virginia's all-important 13 electoral votes is intensifying, punctuating months of unrelenting visits by candidates and their surrogates and the inescapable echo chamber of political advertising.")
*Editorial: Douglass is right for the 5th and nation ("Hurt contributes to the breakdown of responsible representative democracy, harming the nation" while "Douglass offers a stark and welcome contrast.")
*Schapiro: Remley resignation exposes McDonnell's far-right flank ("Slowly but surely, McDonnell's camouflage has fallen away, beginning only days into his term with his refusal to extend anti-discrimination protections for gay public employees and perhaps ending Thursday with Remley's resignation.")
*Kaine, Allen hunt for votes the old-fashioned way
*Kaine finds new defense on Pentagon spending
*Susan Allen: Partisan politics hurting area
*Springsteen to appear in Charlottesville for Obama
*Obama to stop in Richmond during two-day campaign blitz
*Fighting the Goode fight - for president
*Hirschbiel uses intellect, passion to build consensus
*Rigell on data-driven mission to 'elevate the facts' (Is this snark? Rigell and FACTS? Seriously?)
*Profiles: Griffith, Flaccavento vie in 9th
*Cantor, Powell trade barbs in latest advertisements
*Opponents of Virginia power line plan say it zaps James River's history
P.S. The Republican Times-Disgrace endorsed Felix Macacawitz (although not strongly, just barely) for Senate. No reason to link to it, as it's the usual muddle-headed, right-wing claptrap you'd expect from Eric Can'tor's editorial board... |
