True to form, Norm Leahy takes the right approach to the Virginia GOP’s woes:
But they remain ill-served with a leadership that has no agenda, with members who, generally, tend to wait until January to focus on the road ahead and an overall message that is neither coherent nor energizing (quick…what does the GOP hope to accomplish in the next session? One priority…just one…will do).
Speaker Howell likes to say that Republicans are the only ones who propose new ideas in Virginia. Aside from regional taxing authorities (unconstitutional), $1000 speeding tickets (repealed) and using the budget surplus to fund transportation projects (no such thing at present) can you name one solid new idea for improving the lives of Virginians that has originated within the Republican Party?
I couldn’t either.
