The RPV is really delusional. That might not come as a surprise to you, but the you might not have seen their ‘blog’.
From their meltdown over the last several years to their embarrassing performance in last year’s elections, the statewide GOP organization has had one misstep after another. Shaun Kenney was hired, then later resigned. George Allen, the hope of the GOP for this year’s Presidential elections, melted down all on his own, and reflected badly on the party. Jim Gilmore is given the chance to be the only nominee for Senate in 2008 from the GOP. Yes, (No Car Tax) Jim is going to get his chance to be beaten by Mark Warner.
Now comes their ‘blog’, ‘VA GOP Caucus’. All the Republican members of the House are listed there. Suitably for Republicans, there is absolutely no accountability at this ‘blog’. Nobody knows who is the editor or who writes the posts. Are we to assume that all the caucus members sign off and approve of what appears on that ‘blog’?
Waldo has been following this story, and has called bullshit about the whole thing. He makes some good points; that Morgan Griffith has argued loudly and long that the video from the House would lengthen sessions, distract members, and turn you into a Democrat. Okay, I made that last part up. So now, this ‘blog’ is putting video of the House up, captured on their own system, and trying to embarrass Democrats.
Democrats could only be embarrassed for their GOP colleagues when they see this ‘blog’. As usual, what you and I see as doing the people’s business, is seen by the Virginia GOP as something that can be pointed out to be embarrassing to Democrats. Moral posturing is the order of the day.
The Virginia GOP should listen more to some of it’s members when they say that this blog needs serious help.
Anonymous commenters are allowed on this cheap blog (on Blogger), and that makes it difficult to even know if the ‘anonymous’ you are talking with/to is the same one.
My summation:
That blog sucks.


From what I understand, the VA GOP Caucus blog is set up and run by Howell and Co and is entirely independent of the RPV.
