Bearing Drift: "Emmett's Got Foot in Mouth Disease"

Bearing Drift (the #2 ranked blog on BNN this week), has some good coverage of development in our statewide primaries... first here with comments on the Blackburn Stosch showdown :

Talk about denial!
In 2004, the legislature went 55 days into overtime
before the House reluctantly agreed to a $1.4 billion tax increase, largely for
education, health care and public safety. — The
Virginian-Pilot
According to a Blackburn release, Stosch also claimed to
have cut taxes 33 times as a senator. Blackburn replied that, “If you put a dime
in my left pocket and take a dollar out of my right pocket, that is a tax
increase. You must have to be a CPA to say that is a tax cut.”

and picking up on our own Senator Hanger:

Not only is Hanger a part of the cabal of “Republican” state senators that
votes for higher taxes any chance they get, but now he’s explicit when he states
he’d rather not listen to the people?
This guy’s out of touch.

Word 'on the street', is that Emmett is getting 'in touch with his inner grassroots', by hiring a marketing firm out of Richmond to call into our district, and solicit support. Their script is causing a stir however... stay tuned.
