The first Father-in-Law endorses the Democrat…again…

The Richmond Times-Dispatch is reporting that tomorrow former Governor, former Republican, and current Father-in-Law of the current Governor will endorse Democrat Creigh Deeds. [Jindal boosts McDonnell; Linwood Holton backs Deeds]

I’m not psychic, but I could’ve told you that months ago.  Who can tell me the last time Linwood Holton endorsed the Republican for Governor?

Even though they both came from the same region in Southwest Virginia, endorsing Jerry Kilgore in 2005 would’ve severely limited the invitations to Thanksgiving Dinner at the Executive Mansion.

Holton also endorsed Mark Warner over Mark Earley in 2001.  That’s the year Holton’s son-in-law was elected Lt. Governor.  You get the picture.

So sorry, we’re neither surprised nor impressed that Holton is throwing the “weight of his endorsement” behind Creigh Deeds.  Holton’s been touted for bringing the rural Virginia vote to Mark Warner.  But we thought Deeds that that all locked up.

The RTD refers to Holton as a “centrist Republican.”  Linwood Holton hasn’t been a Republican since I was in puberty.  And if I hadn’t cancelled my membership over their support of Obamacare, I’d swear to that on my AARP card.

“From what I’ve seen up in Northern Virginia, they don’t give a damn if people talk s*** about us,” Saunders said. Upon realizing that there was media present on the call, he attempted to amend and repair his remarks by adding that there are “more rednecks on Route 1 in Alexandria than the sixth district of Virginia.”

At least he shouldn’t be able to…

Rangel Must Go
Americans for Limited Government
Charlie Rangel’s problems are legion. Namely, he is the subject of an “ongoing” investigation by the House Ethics Committee for violating public disclosure laws to the tune of failing to report over $1 million in outside income. And he also failed to report $3 million in business transactions as required by the House. And if justice is to be served, it must no longer delayed by the Ethics Committee.

Democrats face an increasingly skeptical and angry public as they approach their first elections under Obama
Cal Thomas, World Magazine

If the Post is so concerned about the fitness of McDonnell for governor because of what he wrote in a single thesis, why hasn’t it been similarly aggressive in rooting out Barack Obama’s records from Occidental College, Columbia University, and Harvard? And does anyone—especially McDonnell’s opponent—want to run on a pro-fornication platform? Even President Obama has said he wants to reduce the number of abortions in America. And who thinks parents spend too much time with their children?
