The AFP on WREL: Deep inside Virginia politics

Contributors

AFP editor Chris Graham talks news and Virginia politics on WREL’s “Online with Jim Bresnahan.”

The segment begins with discussion of the ongoing 2011 Virginia General Assembly session, which Chris said will be short for a reason – this is election year for all 140 members of the state legislature, and the guys and gals want to wrap their business in Richmond as quickly as possible and get back home to run for re-election.

Talk about Bob McDonnell’s transportation plans and Barack Obama’s surge in popularity in the polls wraps us up.
