Analysis: Is Cuccinelli still the GOP fave heading into 2013?

Chris Graham: Obama, Kaine, Goodlatte
Share
More than a year of buildup to what had seemed to be an inevitable Barack Obama re-election was washed away in 90 minutes in Denver on Oct. 3. If not for that one night of lethargy from the president, we’d never have come across the term “Ro-mentum,” likely not had to endure 90 minutes of guffaws from Joe Biden a few nights later – and few would have cared that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie decided to focus on his job instead of presidential politiics at the worst of Hurricane Sandy.
Chris Graham: How will Romney/Ryan Augusta event play out?
Share
It would seem at first glance that the Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan event scheduled for Thursday at Augusta Expoland in Fishersville would be so much overkill given the recent voting history in Greater Augusta.

Mitt Romney’s clumsy comments writing off 47 percent of the American public as being self-victimized, tax-dodging sucklings reminded me of a town-hall meeting that I covered in Staunton a few years back.
Analysis: Why is Kaine running behind Obama?
Share
Barack Obama has had a consistent small but relatively safe lead in the polling done in the Virginia presidential race over the course of the past several months. Fellow Democrat Tim Kaine, meanwhile, has been stuck in a virtual dead heat in his U.S. Senate race with Republican George Allen dating back to mid-2011. Begging the question, What gives?
Chris Graham: Still get no respect

Well, here we go again. It’s the 10th anniversary year for Augusta Free Press, and the occasion has had me at various times this year reminiscing about the good old days. Back in 2002, when we first threw the AFP up online, it was hard to explain to people what we were exactly.
