A Year Ago...and This Year

Ahhh...memories.  Last year, I had the pleasure of being at the Greenbrier to watch (and blog) Tim "Governor" Kaine debate Jerry "the Duck" Kilgore. This year, I'll be at The Homestead, watching Jim "American Hero" Webb take on George "California Cowboy" Allen.  I wonder if there will be any classic lines this year, like "I trust the people...always have, always will."  What issues will come up tomorrow?  Stem cells?  The Middle East?  George Allen's boredom in the Senate?  We'll find out, soon enough.  I am looking forward to all of it, except for getting up at 4:30 AM to drive down there.

I'll Be There (John Hart - 7/21/2006 7:10:06 PM)
Lowell,

  The infamous John Hart will also be there. I look forward to meeting you and finding common ground. You were a Republican once so can't we all just get along (Rodney King).  All kidding aside, the VBA will be there and I'm writing this off. I'd like to meet you and introduce you to my family. Finally, I've had some contact with Josh and the ground forces. The campaign is getting off the ground. I told Josh I want to be on the team but my lack of experience in the democratic party may put me on the bench. I'll be ready to come in (like Sonny Jurgenson) to throw the touchdown pass. See you and go Webb!!! Expect to see some fireworks.

Cool, have a safe trip... (Lowell - 7/21/2006 8:16:24 PM)
...and see you there!


I'm glad it is at the Homestead this year (teacherken - 7/21/2006 10:04:46 PM)
somehow I am always annoyed when things like bar associations meet outside of the jurisdiction of their membership.  Like, they can't find anyplace worthwhile within the boundaries?

Besides, (a) Homestead is closer; (b) have had several very memorable trips there -- in the years BEFORE I became a teacher - way outside my price range nowadays.



why so early? (I.Publius - 7/22/2006 9:13:26 AM)

Cheapskate.  Just get a room there.
