Hampton Roads delegation split on RPV chair

JR Hoeft | May 12, 2008 | Comments (2)

There were several notable exceptions from the GOP-Hampton Roads Delegation on display from current RPV Chair John Hager’s endorsement list — among them Dels. Terrie Suit and Sal Iaquinto of Virginia Beach.

Also, interesting enough, is Del. John Cosgrove of Chesapeake was listed to be supporting Hager, but his legislative aid, Christie Craig, has been an outgoing proponent for Frederick.

Other members of the Hampton Roads delegation supporting Hager: Chris Jones, Bob Tata and Bob Purkey and all of the Senate: Blevins, Quayle, Wagner, and Stolle.

Tom Gear, Brenda Pogge, and ~~Phil Hamilton~~ were not listed as Hager supporters.

Every day this convention grows more and more interesting.

Jim,
Correction: Del. Phil Hamilton IS listed as a supporter of Chairman Hager. Go back and check your original post. I received Speaker Howell’s letter in the mail this weekend, and Del. Hamilton is certainly listed in mine.

Good catch. I missed it. Thanks.

About

Bearing Drift was established in 2004. The name comes from the relative motion of objects at sea. If there is no bearing drift, and the distance between you and the object is closing, there will be a collision; therefore, action must be taken.

Most navigation rules state that the best course of action with constant bearing and decreasing range is to alter one's course to starboard - the right! Therefore, most of us at Bearing Drift ascribe to this rule - if it looks like the ship-of-state is going to wreck, move right; you can't go wrong!!!
