• Houck on the Way Out? (Then Hap better be on the way in)

  —Fred2Blue

  Number of comments: 10
  Right now I’m hearing that Bob McDonnell will push very hard to convince Sen. Edd Houck to leave the Senate for a job in his upcoming administration, and Houck is seriously considering it. This means that control of the Senate probably hinges on either Democrats holding onto this seat or [...]

  This endorsement of Bob McDonnell by the Free Lance-Star is all class. They decry the negative tactics of the Creigh Deeds campaign, (while simultaneously attacking Deeds with the same exact negative spin employed by McDonnell) and decide that….
