- Fearing Clinton (“The GOP was right to be worried.”)
- Hillary Clinton’s Happy Brew
- Krugman: Democrats, Republicans and Wall Street Tycoons (“In other words, while there are some differences in financial policy between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Sanders, as a practical matter they’re trivial compared with the yawning gulf with Republicans.”)
- In campaign money race, Democrats vastly outpacing Republicans
- Bush no longer the ‘shock and awe’ candidate (Well, he’s “shock” in the sense of “shocked at the stupid s*** he says!” LOL)
- Jeb Bush has added the Redskins name issue to his stump speech (“The Republican presidential candidate jokes that the team’s Native American moniker is not insulting — “I think ‘Washington’ is the perjorative term.” Yep, he’s an idiot.)
- Obama extends U.S. military mission in Afghanistan into 2017
- Hastert’s attorney says former speaker intends to plead guilty (Another hypocritical “family values” Republican, in this case the former Speaker of the House who, at the time, called for Bill Clinton’s impeachment because of sexual improprieties that weren’t a millionth as bad as what Hastert did.)
- U.S. budget gap for 2015 at $439 billion, lowest in 8 years (And it could have been even lower if Republicans had worked with President Obama instead of working for him to “fail.”)
- Donald Trump, Ben Carson Threaten to Boycott The Next GOP Debate (But what would we all do without their brilliance, wit, sanity, etc? LOL)
- Jim Webb is a ghost in N.H., and seemingly the rest of the campaign trail (Just a deeply weird campaign all around, kinda like Jim Gilmore’s.)
- Jim Webb: CNN Democratic Debate Was ‘Rigged’ For Clinton and Sanders (No, it’s just that you’re at 1% in the polls and barely running a campaign. #FAIL)
- Jim Webb Blames His Debate Demeanor on Being Ignored (What. Ever.)
- Jeff E. Schapiro’s instant analysis on Donald Trump’s rally in Richmond
- McAuliffe tackling guns with executive authority
- Va. Gov. bans guns in state buildings
- Supreme Court won’t hear Va. solitary confinement case
- Brat looking for Mr. Right as next speaker (Problem is, anyone who’d be “Mr. Right” for crazy extremist Dave Brat would be “Mr. Wrong” for the country.)
- Former campaign treasurer of Virginia Senate minority leader admits to fraud (“The Fairfax woman admitted stealing $653,000 from Democrat Richard Saslaw.”)
- Early release initiative sends federal drug offenders home to Virginia (“It’s a program that has generated differences of opinion among area police and prosecutors.”)
- NOW LIVE: Oct. 15 Campaign Finance Reports
- River basin groups could appeal denial to enter uranium case
- Unaware of Planned Drill, Fairfax Police Warn of ‘Active Shooter’ (Hmmmm.)
- Hamlar, Suetterlein differ sharply on gun control issues in Senate race (A great reason right there to vote for Hamlar in the 19th Senate district!)
- Parties go ‘all in’ on state Senate candidates Gecker, Sturtevant
- Sharon Bulova for chairman in Fairfax (“The other candidates in the race for board chairman — Republican Arthur G. Purves and Independent Green candidate Glenda G. Parker — are rivals in name only.”)
- Police union head calls for boycott of pumpkin patch over ‘Black Lives Matter’ sign (Uhhhhhh….alrighty then.)
- Forecast: A chilly weekend ahead
