Corey Stewart’s kickoff…..what does the silence about it mean?
I am currently in Virginia, and have heard from many people that not many showed up.
Where’s the press coverage? What does this mean?

He mailed to everyone and no one showed up.
t has endorsed Corey, and will throw his considerable political weight behind this Godly pro-lifer. Make no mistake, when the dust settles, only Corey will be standing.
Mr t’s support is indeed formidable – a veritable Army of One. But it must have been a fairly poorly attended event or one or more of the Stewart supporters would have been quick to claim otherwise. One commenter is saying somewhere in the 60 range, with about a dozen or so from outside PW. Not even Mr. Molleur disputed that. Well, there’s plenty of time to get up into the triple digits.
The Army banked large coin for that slogan, and I’ll not have you running around wasting it on the likes of -t.
:steamed:
To put this in perspective right now the LCRC is run by a band of around 30 such losers…. So it can happen…it just can’t last.
Mr. Voice,
If we are such losers, how come we are running the show? Just a thought.
Mr t: what show?
Voice: point taken.
I live in Fairfax but keep my boat at Belmont Bay. I stopped in at Tim’s with friends for lunch on Saturday. I thought there was a private party going on until I saw the “Stewart for Chairman” signs. I was there about noon and I don’t think there were more then 30 people at his party.
Was it a kick-off or just plain ole fund raiser? Fund-raiser success wouldn’t be judged on number of people that show up – but rather amount of money collected.
Second week of August with very short notice isn’t exactly the most opportune time to expect a large political gathering. I’m still on his mailing list and got the invite Friday – if not Saturday. However, I dropped my check in the mail yesterday.
I guess the many people TC heard from really don’t care that a Democrat will be leading PWC if they don’t get off their duff and support Corey.
didnt he send out over 6K invites to the kickoff?
glad to see scott hirons is putting his money to good use
It was his Kick-off. That is what his mailings said. Here is the GOP e-mail about it:

Subject: PWCRCFWD: Corey Stewart’s Campaign Kick-Off
Crabs with Corey Stewart at Tims Rivershore
(Shrimp and BBQ too)
As he kicks off his Campaign for Chairman
of the Board of Supervisors, Prince William County

Tim’s Rivershore
1510 Cherry Hill Road
Dumfries, Va
$25 person. Children under 14 are free!

Who would want to pay $25 to see Corey Stewart? Maybe that’s why no one came. Was our buddy Chapman there?
t would spend a weekly paycheck to see an inspirational and electrifying pro-life leader like Corey.
#5 -t…
Because of shoddy and underhanded “closed” primaries much like the one where Heidi lost her arse. I suppose it’s fine for one side, but grounds to cry over when the same trick is turned around and closes off YOUR candidate. Let’s open the primary back up and let there be REAL competition, not overzealous and forced ones. We will be remedying that particular foul in 2007.
Scott York was the first to fall “victim”, but he turned that around and shoved it back as an independent who is on his way to yet another term because he is in touch with the majority of Loudoun. As I said, when the local party got blind-sided by these suckers, “it can happen…it just can’t last”.
Thank you for demonstrating your ignorance, “Voice,” but a primary is not an available method for anointing a GOP nominee under these circumstances, according to David Ray.
Obviously, even if one assumes the truth of “Mitch’s” numbers, this process is not “closed” in any meaningful sense of the word. For God’s sake, a Democrat is seeking the GOP nomination!
It will be much more interesting to see if any Convention delegates can/will be bounced because, in truth, they are provably Democrats seeking to interfere with a Republican nominating contest.
I think he meant “primary” in the sense of “nominating process”, Jim. I haven’t heard anyone arguing for a primary. It would be expensive and time consuming in a special election context. The danger, of course, is that one doesn’t allow the nominating process to become jiggered to favor one candidate over another. Despite many surface indicators to the contrary, I’m certain that the PW GOP Committee’s processes will be a model of impartiality and fairness in order to accommodate the many enthusiastic and capable candidates that the leadership has cultivated from around the community. You wouldn’t want to have done all that painstaking outreach work and then just have a process that only fafoars one candidate. Obviously, it’s in the GOP’s interests not to have the slightest hint of favoritism or to in any way discourage competent Republicans. Wouldn’t want any qualified, electorally attractive Republicans to throw up their hands in despair and run as independents, would we?
The entire process has already been tainted with the appearance of being “jiggered,” NoVA. One can only hope that, in the spirit of fairness,common sense…and not giving the opposition in the Special Election more ammunition…the PWCGOP leadership involved in these processes are bending over backwards to be fair and above board.
That wouldn’t do, I mean Sean has the franchise on “jiggering” the process at current BOCS meetings.
MOM: He “jiggers” the BOCS meetings just like a toreador “jiggers” a bull fight, usually with the same result.
But, of course, Board (or legilsative floor) maneuverings do tend to go the smart and the skilled. Elections and nominations are things that everyone wants to be impeccably fair and neutral, right? obvoiusly, it would be easy for 20 or 30 people to turn the PW GOP committee into a little politburo if they were determined to do it, but no one would, because they realize that it would make the party look bad to the community and mkae the GOP candidates un-electable. No profit in that, is there?
So in essence the ends justify his means but not necessarily anyone elses. As to whether he is a toreador or some clown in tights, I would suggest it is too early to make that determination as the potential repercussions of his most recent “jiggering” have yet to be seen. Bearing that in mind, I suspect that several recent procedural decisions by the chair will come back to haunt either the public or an applicant. If it is the public, the BOCS (less fearless leader) will be have some “splaining to do Lucy”, if it is a well-heeled applicant, I believe someone will get gored.
Bottom line, “jiggering” the process is not acceptable or a fundamentally sound strategy at either board meetings or conventions, unless of course you merely make your determination based on whose ox is getting gored.
MOM: You misread my comment. I don’t really think that toreadors “jigger” bullfights. I just think they have all the advantages.
But I’m glad we’ve found one thing on which we agree. Your commitment to a fair and open convention will make you stand out on Saturday.
Hitting the nail on the head, Mom notes that the entire purpose of this blog is to legitimate the fact that the Gang that Couldn’t Shoot Straight is having its ox gored by an utterly fair and above-board process specifically provided for in the RPV and PWC Party Plan.
BTW, “NoVA Scout,” the only people who discern “surface indicators to the contrary” are the anonymous/pseudonymous whiners (including AWCheney) here. You are attempting to weaken the GOP nominee with utterly false charges and specious arguments. Good God! You couldn’t even get the Washington Post — hardly a friend to Republicans — to buy into these BS arguments. This is just another fine example of people using purportedly objective standards to pursue their own subjective interests. There is a difference between a tainted process and those who are attempting to taint the process. You people are no different that Democrats who tried to weaken the President by challenging Florida in 2000.
‘Fact is, there was NO effort to choose another process, and even those trying to monkey-wrench the process at the PWC GOP meeting constituted a vanishingly small minority who offered no alternative process. If Chairman Sean and his supporters were as all-fired popular as you suggest, they would have little difficulty in turning out people to take over legitimately the PWC GOP. It speaks volumes that they’ve never been able to, and in fact, have never tried (beyond an abortive attempt in May 2004).
Except for the fact that there is no election scheduled for the nominee to run for …
Jimmy, are you complaining now because nobody walked (or even attempted to walk) into the PWCGOP meeting and try to subvert the process? That kind of attitude, in and of itself, is very telling.
Oh yeah, and btw, I am not anonymous or pseudonymous…it really is me posting (although I understand how you might wonder if it’s somebody else)…Anke Wiechmann Cheney, for the record.
A “jigger” is a racially offensive slur, far worse than “macaca”
The President in 2000 was Bill Clinton, Jim. He had already weakened himself far beyond my powers. There were challenges on both sides, as I recall. I happen to agree with the Supreme Court’s disposition of the case. BTW, what’s the stuff about the Washington Post? Just curious.
Once again, OWW starts up with the name-calling. And what an idiot she is! The reason I specifically noted you, OWW, is because you are NOT anonymous/pseudonymous, and could have (and doubtless, WOULD have) complained had I lumped you in with those who are. You are included because you are a “whiner,” not because you are anonymous/pseudonymous, which otherwise modified the word “whiner.”
And of course I’m not complaining “because nobody walked (or even attempted to walk) into the PWCGOP meeting and try to subvert the process.” To the contrary, I am noting that those few who tried to monkey-wrench the process had little success because there was no genuine GOP constituency for creating a happenstance where the GOP had no nominee for the impending special election.
And “NoVA Scout,” I was obviously referring to “the President” in the present tense. Are you really too dim to recognize that? However, thank you for demonstrating, once again, your penchant for moral equivalency (”There were challenges on both sides”) and thereby, your lack of Conservative credentials.
I think, Jimmy, you had better define this “name-calling” a little better. The only one here who indulges in that rather crass occupation routinely is you. Now, if you mean that you feel referring to you as “Jimmy” rather than your preferred designation is name-calling, I submit that my use of the diminutive is only to show my level of respect for your level of discourse. Hardly what a normal person would call “name-calling,” particularly given your own flowery language.
We do get quite upset around here, don’t we?
Jimmy has been name calling for as long as I’ve been reading this blog (as well as others). Up till now I’ve stayed out and not posted because he just isn’t worth the time or effort to respond to.
Just thought you all might like to know.
