Mr. Cantor, who is white and a lifelong Richmond resident. "He is constantly talking about the South and Southern heritage, and these are just not the issues on the minds of voters."

You know Mr. Cantor, maybe it's on the minds of the voters more than you think. This coming from a state(and correct me if I'm wrong) refuses to honor Confederate Memorial Day, tries to distance itself from anything Southern, and apparently of late tries to consider itself more northern than Southern. Maybe there is a large majority of voters who have remained silent over the past few years as they have watched their heritage stripped from them in the name of PC

If Jones wants to fly his flag and speak of his ancestry, heck I say more power to him. Although he's in a party that doesn't hold the ideals of the old Democratic party(which became the Republican party), I've got to say he's got more gumption than most Southerners seem to have

"I do recall that in your 1985 campaign for lieutenant governor you advertised heavily on reruns of the 'Dukes of Hazzard,'"

I like this one, Billbears. Wilder thought it was ok to be associated withe CBF and DoH show in 1985, but now he can't be in the same party as Jones. Unbelievable.

Jones also flies the I LOVE TO RAISE TAXES flag.
I reckon he does have "gumption" if you define that as the ability to speak out of both sides of your mouth.
