Yesterday: Press releases from the Governor, Lt. Gov., Attorney General, and Republican Party of Virginia on Kaine’s transportation plan were issued, so I thought it would be fun to look at the timeliness of the response from the Virginia blogosphere and the DPVA:
Yesterday, BD runs the releases and offers some commentary on plans. Then, this morning, at 6:38 a.m., BD quotes the Virginian-Pilot story on Leader Griffith’s statement about how the only solution the Dems have for transportation is to raise your taxes.
7:46 a.m.: NLS relays Del. Albo’s statement in WaPO: “Kaine’s plan had a “0.000 percent chance” of winning approval.” NLS also called the tax plan “regressive” yesterday.
8:15 a.m.: “Albo Must Go” blames Del. Albo for Virginia’s transportation woes
8:23 a.m.: SWAC Girl has Del. Saxman’s thoughts
8:49 a.m.: Bacon’s Rebellion posts that the GOP must offer an alternative
9:44 a.m.: VB Dems writes — “Speaker Howell of the House of No”
9:45 a.m.: Vivian Paige discusses the local income tax part of the proposal
10:04 a.m.: Blacknell writes about “flat earth” Republicans blocking Kaine’s transportation bill (ed. note: wow, you really know how to reach out…obviously, “flat earth” is anyone who disagree with MB)
11:18 a.m.: RWL cites BD and offers his own thoughts on the subject
FINALLY….
12:08 p.m.: the Democratic Party of Virginia sends out a press release “VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS: PARTY OF ‘NO’
And even more finally…
“4:59 p.m.” on BNN, Raising Kaine writes about “Roadblock Republicans”
Whew…glad to see DPVA and RK finally catch-up. I’m sure it was tough to come up with the message of those “obstructionist” Republicans.
