Comments on: “Overwhelming Majority” of Loudoun Elected Democrats Get Spanked! http://www.tooconservative.com/?p=4318 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 14:38:09 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.1 hourly 1 By: D-33 http://www.tooconservative.com/?p=4318&cpage=1#comment-18940 D-33 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 03:30:00 +0000 http://tooconservative.com/?p=4318#comment-18940 Leslie Byrnes endorsed Deeds early on - see http://www.lesliebyrne.org/wordpress/?p=380 I was one of those folks for Leslie Byrne in a few of her campaigns and she is as progressive as they come. By the same rationale LI has posited in this post, does this mean Creigh Deeds is the most liberal Dems that could have nominated? Of course not. In most cases, endorsements at the early stage of a campaign are based on personal relationships and previous support provided by the person seeking the endorsement (cashing in the chits). I think the whole argument LI presents in this post is spurious, at best. It’s ridiculous to suggest that somehow these early endorsees are weakened politically over this. The only endorsement in this race that should be a head scratcher and be good fodder for Republicans is Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, endorsing former McAuliffe. That will be an interesting first meeting when Deeds attends in 2010.

Zippo. I'm beginning to think that the ONLY reason the Dems had a good volunteer effort for Obama was because all these people just hated George Bush. With Bush gone, there's nobody for them to hate- -and its hard to hate Bob McDonnell. We need to turn the attention to Kaine being Obama's political stooge because the luster on Obama's economic policies is starting to fade and Kaine has little to show for his years as governor.

That's hilarious given his "overwhelming majority" of elected dems' endorsements. He was a distant third place for crying out loud! Not one elected Dem in Loudoun County endorsed the clear victor. I would say this shows the elected Dems in Loudoun are pretty out of touch with their own party's base. BTW, did Herring ever make an endorsement? I think he stayed officially neutral, but I would have expected him to come out for his fellow State Senator Deeds.

This is a question of moving your base off its *ss on the couch to the poles. It appears our local Dems are dudds in this regard.

Steven Miller voted to raise spending by $38M and the tax rate by 28.5 cents. Pretty pathetic considering housing values have fallen over 20% since he has been in office. Unfortunately, the Republican BOS you refer to had 2 RINOs in Steve Snow and Bruce Tulloch who voted for every spending increase Hatrick wanted. Good riddance to both of them! #37, The school budget was $700M in FY08 and will be $738M in FY10. Steven Miller voted to raise spending by $38M and the tax rate by 28.5 cents.

You guys are really reaching. Nobody cares about this level of endorsements. Why does anyone bother anymore? The Wash Post endorsement carries weight.
