Chris Graham: Democrats begin pushback against E.W. Jackson
Virginia Republicans have an E.W. Jackson problem; they just don’t know it yet. That they don’t know it is evident when you hear Senate Republican Leader Tommy Norment, R-James City, telling an audience at a fund-raiser that Jackson, the controversial GOP lieutenant gpvernor nominee, will lead Virginia in the right direction.
Andy Schmookler: What we’re up against
I introduced my new project here on Augusta Free Press earlier in a posting called Swinging for the Fences.
