Well, while I still disagree with you assessment of Earley, I can agree with you here.
And a good deal of the work is already done. It'll be a little like the budget deal Gerald Baliles left for Doug Wilder in 1985. Gilmore will present a budget that eliminates the car tax, but will only be able to do so by dramatically cutting services and employees. Warner will be faced with going along with the cuts or raising taxes.
And he is such an idiot if he thinks he can "manage" the Virginia General Assembly. I chuckle everytime I think about that.
My asessment of Earley may well be off, but it was formed by listening to my neighbors, who are farmers and blue collar workers with long memories. The VAGOP should let Earley go. He won't change the minds of people in gravel road country. They already feel like they got burned by electing him AG.
Now, let's run that noveau riche carpetbagger back to wherever he's claiming to have come from this week.
