Last February, due to scheduling conflicts, all Republicans in the congressional delegation failed to meet with part-time governor and full-time DNC Chair Tim Kaine in Richmond.
At the time, Sen. Jim Webb said:
“Virginia has had a long history of bipartisan work when it comes to issues that transcends politics and affect the people of Virginia,” Webb said. “This is the way that a delegation should work, and for the Republican members of this delegation to decide to boycott a meeting that would benefit their constituents through their participation is something that I think is very regrettable, and I would hope we would not see something like this in the future.”
Interesting that absent at today’s congressional meeting with Gov. Bob McDonnell was….Sen. Webb.
