Waldo Jaquith: The legislature?s most prolific copatrons.

June 10, 2009
The more time that I spend mapping the social relationships of legislators via their copatroning habits, the more fascinated that I am by this mechanism of exploring the General Assembly. It really is a powerful tool. (To see one of the ways I?m using it on Richmond Sunlight now, check out HB1721 , SB1436 , or HB2482 , where you can see a graph indicating the average partisan position of each bill?s cosponsors.) Here?s a less thoughtful usage of this data, but no less interesting: a listi...

too conservative: House of Delegates Q2 Reports

June 2, 2009
This is actually half of Q2, due to the 15-day requirement before the June 9 primary, so the dates covered are between April 1 and May 27, 2009. Like last time, I?ve included races in Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, Loudoun, and PWC. Much, much more below the fold. Total raised is taken from total receipts, which includes contributions, in-kind, and loans. Candidate: Q2 Raised  | Cash on Hand | # of Individual Donors Fairfax Districts: HD 34 Margi Vanderhye (i): $61K | $9...

Crystal Clear Conservative: Ouch, that?s gotta hurt!

May 14, 2009
Wow, this is not good. At a recent Terry McAuliffe Rally featuring Bill Clinton, it appears that Stevens Miller, who is running for Delegate in the 86 th District, was not given speaking privileges at an event held in his district. Instead, Delegate Ken Plum, who represents the 36 th spoke to the audience instead, while Miller did not speak to those in his own ?home? (not technically?read previous Miller posts to get the full scoop on the Carpetbagger of the Year) district....

too conservative: House of Delegates Q1 Round-Up

April 16, 2009
Here are the House of Delegate numbers, fresh from VPAP. I?ve included all the races in Fairfax, Loudoun, PWC, Stafford, and most in Alexandria and Arlington. Much, much more below the fold. Total raised is taken from total receipts, which includes contributions, in-kind, and loans. Candidate: Q1 Money Raised  | Cash on Hand | # of Individual Donors Fairfax Districts: HD 34 Margi Vanderhye (i): $50K | $52K | 157 Barbara Comstock : $133K | $118K | 321 Very impressive ...

The Shad Plank: McAuliffe lines up more endorsements - including Hampton Roads locals..

March 16, 2009
Terry McAuliffe rounded up a handful of endorsements today including Peninsula city council and school board members and a few folks from the House of Delegates. The full list is below, but it is interesting to watch how McAuliffe is navigating the endorsement minefield. Brian Moran and Sen. Creigh Deeds have been running for the seat for a long time and they have a lot of local leaders already lined up behind them. But as we're hearing it, McAuliffe is being very smart and reaching o...
