Del. Chris Saxman, VA co-chair for McCain-Palin, pulls no punches in this Virginia update for the presidential campaign.

What does he think of the latest poll numbers? Virginia volunteers for Obama being asked to work in Pennsylvania? Why are Democrats afraid of a hockey mom from Alaska? Why is there no surge of Iraq stories on the front pages anymore? And, will we see McCain and Palin in Virginia Beach soon?

Plus, much, much more!

Quote of the podcast: “I don’t know why when things go wrong in America, Democrats get excited so much!”

As expected, Del. Chris Saxman’s bill to direct potential future tax revenues gained from possible offshore resources (should the federal moratorium on gaining oil and natural gas be lifted) easily passed the House tonight 56-39. The bill was then immediately referred to the Senate’s finance committee, where Sen. Chuck Colgan (D), chairman of the committee, broke party ranks and sided with the six Republicans to send the bill to a floor vote. Of note, Sen. Dick Saslaw, Majority Leader, is on the finance committee.

Sen. Frank Wagner’s similar bill was killed in the agricutlure, conservation and natural resources committee.

The trend in the Eighth District GOP nomination race continues where Amit Singh continues to collect small donations, now amassing over $62K in three months, with the average donation being $125; and, Mark Ellmore continues to collect endorsements, the most recent from Rep. Thelma Drake and Del. Chris Saxman.
