Virginians will have an opportunity to decide on the future direction of their state next Tuesday, when they vote to elect a new governor. The right choice couldn't possibly be clearer: Mark Earley, the Republican nominee, who has compiled a very distinguished record during nearly 15 years of service as a state senator and attorney general is the best man for the job. Mr. Earley has fought tenaciously in the political trenches together with leaders like Govs. George Allen and Jim Gilmore to reform welfare; to ensure that responsible parents are notified when their minor child seeks an abortion; to cut taxes and to abolish a discredited parole system that was putting dangerous predators back out on the street after serving only a fraction of their sentences.

The Richmond Times Dispatch(another large newspaper in VA) also endorses Mark Earley.
Hey Dubyuh, didn't you learn from yer Daddy that Bi-Partisanship is Fer LOSERS!!
SHEEEESH...MUD

Yep, and in more ways than many folks know...Mark Warner's fortune was made on the backs of taxpayers up and down the East Coast as he corrupted the bidding process for Cellular Phone Monopoly licenses and brought in his political buddies and Big-Money Donors as Payback for supporting Wilder's campaign twelve years ago. This whole group of Warner/Clintonoids is corrupt to the core and I fully expect if Warner does get elected, he will NOT complete his term due to the Exposed Corruption that will force him to RESIGN!!
Virginia FReepers, get the heck out there and make sure each and every one of your friends and relatives and work associates knows how important it is to KEEP MARK WARNER OUT OF THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION AT ALL COSTS!! They don't come any sleazier than the low-life, scumbag Mark Warner!!

My thoughts exactly. What good is winning the war if he ignores the homefront? That's exactly the equation that gave us Bill Clinton in 1992.
The President should know that. And no one should give us that "He's got a war to run," crap.
I am fully confident in his ability to lead us through this war. I'm glad he's where he is and I'm committed to supporting him in the war on terrorism.
But, if he has time to read to Muslim children and time to go to a baseball game, he's got time to show up for Earley, and even Schundler.
I busted my backside working for him, before and after Gore tried to steal the Florida vote. The RATS are already turning on him and his high approval rating will vanish. In 2004, the sheeple won't remember how they trusted him after 9/11.
And if he doesn't show up in Virginia, I won't be inclined to remind them.
If the President doesn't show up, I think he'll really come to regret not supporting Earley and Schundler. I just can't fathom that the majority of his advisors don't see what the Dems and media WILL do if VA, NJ and NYC all go Democrat.
I'm beginning to fear that we're about to find out.
The GOP isn't called the "stupid party" for nothing. It was Karl Rove who cost us the Senate by pushing that RINO Jeffords over the edge (I know, a good case can be made for 'good riddance'), and now, if we lose, we can again credit him. Contrary to what has been said about Mark Earley on this thread by a few, he's a good, experienced, and decent man and would make an excellent governor. He's even right on a few issues, to boot.
It wouldn't have taken much for Bush to help pull him over the line. The Dems on Capitol Hill have been partisan for weeks. I'll post the information about the statewide lit drop for Saturday. Who needs 'em; we'll win this thing on our own.
Exactly. And, unfortunately, what we've seen this year in Virginia is the same scenario that lost it for us in the 80s and early 90s (pre George Allen). That's changed somewhat in the last few weeks, but that may not be enough to put us over the top.
Remember, McCain campaigned hard in Virginia, and the Democrats were all to willing to help him out. Our primary was back to back with South Carolina, and it was Bush's victory in Virginia that was the final nail in McCain's coffin. I'm off to read the following thread: President Bush Says Vote Mark Earley for Governor in Letter and see what it's all about.
