If Jim Gilmore wants to win, there are a number of […]

Democrats-only for the “radical centrist”

Vivian Paige has great coverage of Mark Warner’s kickoff in Norfolk. Funny how the “radical centrist” didn’t have any Republican elected officials speaking for him….just gobs of local Democrats. Real centrist of ya, Mark!
Just a lot of talk we shouldn’t take seriously….again.

Mark Warner: Boldly Eschewing Principles Since 2000

Mark Warner obviously thinks very little of the voters of Virginia.
I can think of no other explanation for the absurd mantra that Warner is now trumpeting in his campaign for the United States Senate: that of the “Radical Centrist.”
