Virginia Politics On DemandAbout
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!!!

Is it just me, or does his (Fimian’s) site look remarkably like Obama’s? Sure, a lot of campaign websites tend to look similar, but the font choices, visual styling, and other cues all seem very similar. Not that that’s a bad thing, as you could certainly do far worse.
If it does (and I’m not sure I see that visually), then he’s aiming high. Obama has the best political web presentation this country has ever seen, in the opinion of this observer.
What is this Democrat party you keep mentioning?
I think that Keith’s website is not only an example of the type of ingenuity and professionalism he will bring to the office, but also demonstrates his ability to communicate well with constituents and voters.
Connolly hates bloggers, and his inability to relate with voters really shows on his site.
From what I hear, the Fimian campaign built their website to reduce their paper consumption by at least 50% (what can the Connolly campaign say about the environment now??).
I have never seen a congressional, senatorial, or gubernatorial campaign put so much thought and effort into a coordinated internet strategy…so forget it being the best in VA Politics – how about about national politics.
