Syndicated columnist Paul Ibrahim interviews Singh and Ellmore
By JR Hoeft | Friday, May 9th, 2008 | PoliticsThe 8th Congressional District race for the GOP nomination absolutely fascinates me.
Both Amit Singh and Mark Ellmore represent two very distinct views of the Republican Party, and seeing which view prevails in a largely Democratic district signals to me the direction in which the party most trends. My rationale is that in a largely Democratic district, the Republicans that exist there are the true believers; they are concentrated. So, whatever choice they make, I think it makes a profound statement about the future of the party.
That being said, Paul Ibrahim, a synidcated columnist, recently completed interviews with Amit Singh and Mark Ellmore. They are well worth the read and provide interesting insights regarding the two candidates.
As you may recall, I also interviewed Singh. And, I will be catching up with Ellmore on an upcoming installment of the VPOD.

Thank you for posting this.
Interesting. Mark Ellmore seems to think that 99% of their views are identical. He said that at a recent event.

This is an interesting post, since this will be one of the most competitive primary races in Virginia this year. Both Amit Singh and Mark Ellmore have made good points, and I have been impressed by both candidates. However, I really like Amit Singh’s views on personal liberties and economic proposals.
