I’m pleased to welcome to the Bearing Drift team Jane Dudley from Conservativa, Chris Obenshain (Old Zach) from SST, and Shaun Kenney from his namesake blog.
They join Brian Kirwin, Norm Leahy, Georgie Gale, The Squeaky Wheel, and myself at offering news, analysis, insight, and perspective on the goings-on all across the Virginia political spectrum from a conservative point of view.
Along with other groups such as the Jeffersoniad and the Old Dominion Blog Alliance, Virginia possesses a wealth of talented bloggers on the right. BD is pleased to be a part of and continue that tradition.
Conservative to the core; liberal with his opinion! J.R. has been involved in politics for over a decade and has worked on several campaigns in Hampton Roads. He has served on the Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Chesapeake and the Central Committee of the Republican Party of Virginia. He is also the director of “Blogs United” in Virginia.

Jim, thanks for the opportunity. I hope I can live up to the high standard set by this here blog. I guess I need to start by figuring out this whole podcast thingie.
Look out, Virginia. What a lineup! An honor for me to be among the talent.
We’re glad you’re here, Chris! As for the podcast thing…training sessions will begin a 5 a.m. tomorrow with calisthenics and a four-mile run. I mentioned that to you, right?
Meanwhile Squeaky Wheel is being touted on Virgine Beach Dems as a new contributor. During the announcement they played up his contributions to Bearing Drift to bolster his standing.
