VPOD 80: Jim Geraghty, NRO

In this episode of Virginia Politics On-Demand, we take a quick look back at the biggest news of the week in politics, including the debates between the LG candidates and the gubernatorial candidates, what Sen. Creigh Deeds thinks about a federal public option in health care, the closing of the International Paper Mill in Franklin, and where we stand in polls and endorsements.

Also, Jim Geraghty, blogger for National Review Online’s “Campaign Spot” gives us a glance as to what this campaign in the commonwealth looks like to those who follow national politics. He also gives his prediction on New York-23, the New Jersey campaign, and what will happen here in the commonwealth.

Finally, I close with a few thoughts about a holiday that will go largely unnoticed this week. However, it’s an event we owe everything to – especially when we talk about freedom.
