Washington Post "Losers": Bill Bolling, Jim Gilmore, Shaun Kenney

The "winners and losers" list in this week's Washington Post Virginia politics blog is highly amusing. Check out these "losers":

Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling - As Allen sends signals he may be a candidate for governor in 2009, Bolling may have a harder time arguing he will be conservatives' choice for governor. And after Democrats picked up the four seats needed to regain control of Senate, Bolling won't be able to bolster his profile by being the tie breaking vote in a 20-20 Senate.

Jim Gilmore - When Allen and Attorney General Robert F. McDonnell appeared together this week to endorse Thompson's presidential bid, they spoke for several minutes about next year's Senate race. But neither McDonnell nor Allen mentioned Gilmore, who is widely expected to enter the race. When Bolling and McDonnell were asked why, they both said it was too early to determine who the GOP will nominate.

Shaun Kenney - As spokesman for the Republican Party of Virginia, one of Kenney's responsibilities is to distribute press releases. But a review of the state party's website shows a press release has not been uploaded onto the website since April 23.

Felix Macacawitz?  Still too early?  April 23?  Hahahahahahaha.  :)

Republicans, please nominate Allen for anything. Please, please, please. (dsvabeachdems - 11/16/2007 4:39:02 PM)


You mean this guy? (Lowell - 11/16/2007 4:53:59 PM)


Yes, that fellow. Bring it on!!! (dsvabeachdems - 11/16/2007 5:19:10 PM)


Incredible (vadem2008 - 11/16/2007 11:56:46 PM)
Allen can never live this down.  The smug look on his face when he calls the young man "macaca" "welcome to America"  hits me harder now than it did when Webb was running. Allen is talking about being positive, yet he continues on with this bigotry.  Why is he even being talked about as a viable leader in Virginia?  We should be ashamed to have him represent us.


Yes, but don't tell the Republicans... (dsvabeachdems - 11/17/2007 11:23:22 AM)
They really don't get it.

He would be such a catalyst for Democratic action, we would feel obligated to send him a thank-you wreath after the election.



They think we blew it all out of proportion (Lowell - 11/17/2007 6:53:11 PM)
How anyone can watch this video - or read stories about a deer head in a black man's mailbox, etc. -- and come to that conclusions is beyond me. 


tip of the iceberg (pvogel - 11/16/2007 8:43:13 PM)
Thanks for the blast from the recent past.

Ive started chanting "Bush Sux" everytime I fill up the gas tank with $3.25 gas.  If folks question me, I point out that gas was $.95  when Bush stole the election.......



Reminds me of my t-shirt (Craig - 11/16/2007 9:02:35 PM)
I have a vulgar t-shirt which says "Bush's America" and a pic of a gas station sticking the pump in a very, ahem, private place.  Always gets looks, and sometimes laughs.
