Former VCU political science professor Bob Holsworth was recently quoted in the Washington Post regarding “the increasingly narrow line Democrats in Virginia must walk to satisfy environmentalists and campaign donors without alienating business interests.”
According to Holsworth, Gov. McAuliffe “has just made a calculation on this…[that it] isn’t a political liability until we see that these environmental groups are able to develop grass-roots traction to be able to successfully oppose this.”
Good point, Bob Holsworth. I accept your challenge.
