It's primary day in Virginia, where the state's Democrats are set to pick from three candidates for governor: State Sen. Creigh Deeds, who is now the ...

With Creigh Deeds surging across the southern portion of the state and Brian Moran holding his own in NoVa, it's all but decided: McAuliffe has no viable path to victory.

Today at noon I will witness the dawning of an important new council dedicated to protecting our precious and threatened Atlantic Ocean: the Governors' Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on Oceans.

Our oceans don't recognize borders. That's why it's so significant that these five Governors will agree to reach across state lines to protect them.

If you were standing on that sidewalk next to Moore when she was 45 years old, would you have expected her to pull a gun from her purse, aim and pull the trigger at the head of the U.S. President?

Those who used to be low in the social hierarchy are now quickly landing in the basement. Those who belonged to the middle class are suddenly finding themselves in the lower class.

McAuliffe earned his buffoonish reputation by saying things like "Kiss my ass, Barack!" on the Jon Stewart Show.
Taylor Marsh | Posted 06.19.2009 | Politics
Brian Moran's moves to make Hillary Clinton the scapegoat for his inability to catch McAuliffe are despicable.

VGBA wants to keep weak laws on the books for strapping razor-sharp knives to the legs of roosters, forcing them to hack each other to death for gambling profits and spectator enjoyment.

Democrats are elitist, right-wingers insist, even if they are needy enough to receive not just college, but high school scholarships. In this case, the proof of Obama's elitism was his request for Dijon.

The American people can see through the shell game the DSCC is playing. One day of doing the right thing does little to make up for 364 days of being beholden to specials interests.

I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Nanci Griffith's beautiful and inspiring song and I want to urge you to listen to it and play it for your friends and family.

Poop is not only a topic of conversation among new parents, it's pretty much the only topic for any new parents.

This poll shows that despite how much McAuliffe thinks this race is all about the money, in Virginia money isn't everything.

Allergies were the realm of those brainy, pale, nose-picking girls in middle school who had to run and get shots every time you turned around.

Disenfranchisement laws that date back to our Jim Crow era currently prevent at least one in five African-American men from voting in Virginia.

There's nothing moral in the physical stalking of a young woman blogger who simply noted on her blog something O'Reilly said about a rape and murder victim. In fact, it's downright sinister.

You simply cannot cozy up to the utterly corrupt coal industry and expect to walk away unsoiled. Terry's conscience should be every bit as darkened as a coal-worker's hands.

If you told me there was man seeking office who raised the disenfranchisement of African-Americans as an issue worth addressing, I would have called you crazy or a liar, but that's just what Mike Signer did.

After assimilating some information, I'll leave you to your own devices to figure out why Terry McAuliffe might find it in his interest to run an unexamined (read: negativity-free) campaign.

I nearly fell out of my chair when T-Mac openly admired the steps Haley Barbour has taken in Mississippi to attract business. Haley Barbour? But that wasn't the only thing Terry said that left me agape.
