Story by Chris Graham [email protected] Chances are that whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, you’re sure that the media coverage of the ’08 presidential election is tilted toward Barack Obama. A George Mason University study would show that not to be true, but hey, perception is reality these days, ain’t it? “The perception is indeed…

Column by David Reynolds We all have roots. Some have local ones. They’re RB&B folks, Rockbridge Born & Bred. Others, like myself, have roots that were planted elsewhere. Last week lightning struck a man whose roots I proudly share. You may have caught this man’s name in the news over the past few days. I…

Column by Chris Graham [email protected] I’ve said this before, but I think it bears repeating as we approach the Barack Obama VP Zero Hour.

Story by Chris Graham [email protected] I knew that Brett Hayes and John Martin had a couple of things in common when I set up my interviews with them for this week’s Top Story on “Republicans for Obama.” The headline gives the two key ones away – both are Republicans, and both are actively supporting Democratic…

Special Commentary by Chris Graham [email protected] I thought we’d already decided as a nation that the massive federal budget deficits that Reaganomics brought with them were decidedly bad for the economy. Seems like some of us didn’t get the memo. “It’s important that we have a president who understands how to get our economy moving…
