Republicans for Environmental Protection (I know... quite the oxymoron!) issued the following press release which is simply too good to not just re-post as is:
Palinology: A Dinosaur Energy Policy
During last year's presidential campaign, Sarah Palin presented herself as an expert on energy. Her new book includes [...]
The Virginia election results were certified tonight by the State Board of Elections and there were no particular surprises.
Bob McDonnell still won in a landslide. House Republicans still picked up six seats.
However, one of those House seats is going to take a little longer being finalized [...]

Try as they might, liberal pundits cannot explain away Bob McDonnell’s 18-point election victory over Creigh Deeds by saying that Virginia always elects governors who are not of the president’s party. That’s like saying Republicans [...]
View larger. View larder. View Lardner. View lager.
View Sarah Palin (for you Republicans.)
[...]Jeff McWaters has received the endorsement of Virginia Beach Sheriff-elect and soon-to-be former State Sen. Ken Stolle, who is vacating the seat. In an email today to supporters, Stolle writes:
“In this election there are two Republicans vying for the seat, both have served the community of [...]
Today I have been greatly honored with the nomination of the Republicans of Virginia’s 79th district, and I hereby accept, with all the humility I can manage, your trust in me to run for and, voters willing, represent the 79th district [...]
The dates to select the GOP nominees in the 8th and 37th Senate Districts have been set.
In the 37th, Marianne Honrniko, Will Nance and Steve Hunt have until Dec. 1 to convince Republicans that they’re the best candidate to succeed Attorney General-elect Ken [...]
Freshmen congressmen Glenn Nye (D-2) and Tom Perriello (D-5) both defeated incumbent Republicans in 2008, but are high on the national target list by the GOP in 2010.
Both have made themselves vulnerable, but in different ways, for the coming election.
In a nutshell, Nye has nearly cast [...]
By way of Don Surber:
Politburo passes health plan, 220-215Without bothering to get any input from Republicans;
Too ashamed to read the bill out loud in public;
Breaking an oath to write the bill on C-Span;
Breaking a pledge to have bipartisan support;
Breaking a promise to post it online for 72 hours before [...]
Creigh Deeds liked the idea of opting out of Obama’s health care plan.
Glenn Nye didn’t want it to get even that far.
Nye announced today he’s a BIG no vote on Obama’s health care takeover, like he was on Obama’s budget and Obama’s cap and trade bills.
Is [...]

Virginia Governor-elect Bob McDonnell should be commended on a solid win, but Republicans shouldn’t get too excited. A fact which can’t be ignored is Virginia [...]
I challenge you now to look Capt. John Bell in the face [...]
Gov-elect Bob McDonnell should be commended on a solid win, but Republicans shouldn’t get too excited.
Without a doubt, McDonnell and Virginia Republicans have a mandate, a fact to which state Democrats should play close attention. But no one should overestimate exactly what that mandate is. Exit [...]
Last night as many Virginia Beach Republicans were riding an emotional rollercoaster that ending in victory for Ron Villanueva, a few candidates had their signs and literature for the next election ready to go.
See, I have a slight problem with that. Election night is for the [...]
So, that’s what winning feels like.
It had been a while since Virginia’s Republicans had something to celebrate, but tonight we made up for lost time. Congratulations to the outstanding team of Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling and Ken Cuccinelli. Congratulations to all of the re-elected Republican Delegates [...]
Republicans celebrated a clean sweep of Virginia's top elected offices Tuesday night as returns trickled in slowly from a close New Jersey's governor's race and a special House election in upstate New York.
As the GOP sought to send a warning shot to Democrats in Washington by scoring big [...]
I can't imagine political campaign seasons getting any worse, but every year they do. They're like the Bizarro Olympics. And it's one area where Republicans and Democrats are equally heinous. There is absolutely no way you could tell from their campaigns alone which is the better candidate [...]
Republican poll workers in Northern Virginia report a 4 to 1 advantage over their Democratic counterparts when it comes to voters taking their sample ballots. Polling data showing Republicans with a massive advantage has definitely affected voter and volunteer [...]

Like the only Freshman girl who gets asked to the prom, Virginia Republicans are in an unfamiliar situation these days. Over the past several years, the last week of a campaign for the GOP has been filled with last ditch pleas to friends and family, convincing [...]
