*Republicans' real problem ("Romney can't be competent without enraging the party's base.")
*Romney's immigration incoherence (Actually, I thought his policy was to oppose the DREAM Act, support "Arizona's draconian 'show-me-your-papers' law," and push undocumented immigrants to "self deport.")
*Romney Campaign Now Says They Probably Won't Do Their Tax Cuts After All   (Speaking of incoherent!)
*Mitt Romney's 'Them' Problem
*Cuccinelli approves abortion clinic regulations (And the Republican war - and yes, it IS a war - on women's reproductive freedom rolls on in Virginia.)
*Democrats hit Allen on Social Security in Senate race (As well they should!)
*Kaine Brings Senate Campaign To F.C. for Fundraiser Sunday
*Kaine enlists seniors to slam Allen on health care, retirement
*Partisans ridicule Obama, Romney as they come to Va.
*McDonnell Iowa bound for GOP event in October (Transvaginal Bob for President, 2016? That would be amusing.)
*Businessman who praised McDonnell gets voter contract
*Kaine swings through Southside
*Hurt addresses Douglass' uranium claims (Actually, in NO WAY did Hurt "address" these "claims," and actually they're not Douglass' claims, but many peoples'. Other than that, great headline - LOL!)
*State Senator Mark Herring Campaigns For President Obama
*Cantor, Powell trade charges on disclosure
*Now's the time to "do our jobs," congressmen say at luncheon (Uh, dude, if you had done your job in the FIRST place, this wouldn't have happened. Duhhhh.)
*The Cretins Are Going To Shut Down TC Again! (Republicans once again demonstrate what a tolerant bunch they are. Not.)
*The Incredible Implosion Of Corey Stewart (It's fascinating to see how the right-wing Virginia blogosphere LOVED Corey Stewart when he was busy being a demagogue and bullying "illegals," but now have turned on him with a vengeance when he turns his goon tactics on a fellow white, male Republican. Hmmm.)
*House Democrats reduce ad buys against Rigell (Not a good sign for Dems' chances in VA-02...)
*Washington, D.C.-based partisan group blast Kaine on coal (Is this a joke? Kaine approved a new coal-fired power plant when he was governor; in fact, that was one area I strongly disagreed with him on, and criticized him accordingly. Also, these people DO realize that it's cheap, "fracked" natural gas that's grabbing market share from coal, right?)
*NFL, referees end labor dispute (Thank goodness for the return of high-quality, UNION labor to the NFL. I'm sure all of pro football's Republican fans, like Scott Walker and Paul Ryan, will celebrate, then go back to bashing every other union - teachers, public safety workers, you name it.)
*Absentee voting under way in Virginia
*Loudoun supervisor's nonprofit sued over photo (Eugene DelGOTTAGO!)
*Nationals vs. Phillies: Jayson Werth delivers the final blow as Washington nears NL East title
