      On a lighter note, it was fun to watch Doris Kearns Goodwin crack up Chuck Todd on MTP singing the old campaign ditty "Van Buren deserves the lowest place in Hell." Now that's the role of a historian. Not advising Freddie Mac.

        McDonnell vs Maddow...

        latest line..McDonnell by 18 points

        Yes, there may be a reason to watch the partisan hack Rachel Maddow on MSNBC! See the possible next Vice President easily knock down Maddow's obnoxious eyerolling hatchet job questioning.
        After all, Gov. McDonnell has taken the Washington Post's

        partisan attacks for 3 years...and his approval rating is around 70%...Virginia was practically turning into Massachusetts until he was elected. Now conservatives are in the ascendancy.

        Conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham noted of Ronald Reagan this week, in an interview with Gov. McDonnell, “there wasn’t a place he wouldn’t go to argue the conservative message, and advocate for conservative principles.” The Governor agreed then asked Ingraham for help in setting up an interview with Rachel Maddow. “I’ll send her a note,” Ingraham replied, and Maddow confirmed that she, in fact, did. Thanking Ingraham and repeating several times how excited she was about the possibility of doing the interview, she wanted to make sure that it happened. “So we’re all above board and there is no suspicion of an ambush,” she told McDonnell, “I want you to know: here is what I’ve been saying on television without you.” She then played a montage of criticisms that she had leveled at McDonnell on the program.

          Why do you Republicans prefer a serial adulterer and professional flip flopper to a man who has
          a real plan to bring government spending under control? Why do you prefer draft dodgers to a
          man who actually served while married with kids? Why do you prefer worshipers of Big
          Government to someone who will strive to give us our country back?

          Why are you not voting for Ron Paul???
