Not Larry Sabato

First Democratic LG Candidate?

Let the speculation begin...

Cesar's Island of Misfit Toys (Part One)

Yet another disaster developing in the Fairfax Democrats...

Recently the group elected Matt Bell as their Secretary.  Matt is a Young Democrat who claims to live at his parents house in Clifton, VA (Fairfax County), but had an incident with a fight at his real home, an apartment in Washington D.C. with a staffer from Dave Marsden's campaign last year.

The controversy surrounding Matt led a couple members of the Steering Committee to look up his voter registration.  Yes, he is registered in Clifton and has been since April 29th, 2005.  But in those seven years he hasn't bothered to go vote a single time!  He's missed six Democratic primaries (05 LG, 06 Senate/Congressional, 07 State Senate, 08 Presidential, 08 Congressional, 09 Governor) and every general election from 2005 on.

Matt was part of Cesar del Aguila's slate and like everything else Cesar does, was apparently not vetted at all.  Now Cesar is trying to cover for Matt by accusing the members of the committee who looked this up of fraudulent use of the voter file!  Cesar will do anything to cover for his supporters, which includes a number of Republicans that supported him in this election after filing to be on FCDC.

It's looking more and more like the only path for Democrats in Fairfax this year will be the Obama and Kaine campaigns taking the county over- Cesar and his island of misfit toys are not ready for prime time.

Cuccinelli's Rat Lie

Politifact does an excellent job destroying it.

Brian Moran FIRED

A day behind on this, but looks like DPVA Chair Brian Moran (who has been serving as interim-President of the for profit college scam industry) was passed over for the job permanently. 

So will he leave and try to regain some of his dignity or go back to working as the #2 there?  Brian is on the road in Chicago today campaigning against new federal legislation to stop these "colleges" from scamming veterans, so it appears he is happy to try to continue to cash in from a slightly less high profile position. 

BIG WINS FOR INSIDE THE BELTWAY CANDIDATES

Libby Garvey of Fairlington looks headed to a big win in the caucus to replace Barbara Favola on the Arlington County Board, while Newt Gingrich of McLean is surging to win the South Carolina primary for the GOP.
