Virginia Senate Returns
Anyone else tracking these returns? I stayed up WAY TOO LATE last night watching them, and this morning I find myself still watching them. The GOP needed 2 pickups, and they have 1 already, and the second?
One congratulation is in order, in Virginia’s 13th district, which is Loudon and Prince William County, Dick Black was elected to the Senate. I used to attend Senator Black’s functions back when he was a delegate. But, the reason I know him is because when I came home from Bosnia he was there when I got a state medal that had a big sticker on it that read “Made in China”. Needless to say, I was displeased with that. Anyway, then-Delegate Black authored a bill to ensure that all future medals given by the Commonwealth would be American Made. That bill passed.
Anyway, it was at one of Delegate Black’s functions that I got to spend some extended time with a former VA US Senate Candidate, Ollie North.
Anyway, my thanks to the people of Loudon and Prince William for sending this outstanding man, and veteran, off to Richmond again.

I’m proud to say I voted in that election for Reeves. Houck didn’t feel the need to even fill out the VCDL survey, so that required little thought.
I voted about 40 minutes before the polls closed and I was number 529 out of 592 voters. 😐
One of my votes for Mr. Black is on that total; my neighbor running for state senate lost by 2k votes however (P. Phillips).
Thanks for the vote Crucible, he really is a wonderful man, and took care of the families of C Co 3/116 when we were in the Boz.
Crucible – that idiot ad the Phillips campaign put out with the Russian military officer, claiming that Herring doesn’t respect veterans, certainly hurt her – especially in the latter part of the campaign. 🙁
I’m pissed Jeff Frederick lost to that old hag.
Excellent. I’m proud to say that my bride and I voted for Senator Black. I got to meet him at the Round Hill VA Memorial Day Ceremony.
I didn’t see that one Nicki-I’ll have to go look it up and ask her about it. (I have to say though I pretty much ignored all the political ads whenever possible, as well as the bazillions of phone calls we got this time around. My patience seems to get thinner and thinner each year…)
She lost last time too, but she’s done pretty well considering she was going up against such a well known name.
Crucible – here’s the link.

What’s wrong with that picture???
It was a damn shame, because we really liked Patricia. My boyfriend is a huge fan, but the ad is… OMG. Whoever approved that thing needs a good slap upside the head!
I think that’s Ballduster McSoulpath’s Russian uncle — Ivan Katya Feelinsnatch.
Stalin Valor, baby. Stalin valor.
#8 – AP, I just spit coffee all over my screen! DAMMIT!
Where the heck are the vampire retard photoshops you were going to post?
I put a full half hour on the ones that I sent in… lol.
They are coming duke, I promise. Been in Cabo for a week, but I promise I will get to them.
