The Shad Plank: Va. House of Delegates: Hamilton hosts tele-townhall....

July 1, 2009
Del. Phil Hamilton is facing his first campaign challenge in more than a decade, but he's not dusting off old school barnstorming techniques he's getting cutting edge. Hamilton, a Newport News Republican, is the second in command of the House Appropriations Committee and he's getting pushed by Robin Abbott a Newport News attorney. On Tuesday night, Hamilton hosted an hour long tele-townhall that focused on the new laws going onto the state books as of July 1. A tele-townhall essentially...

The Shad Plank: Va. Gov: GOP snags top billing on the November ballot...

June 26, 2009
The lottery at the State Board of Elections swung to the Republicans this week, when the GOP won top billing on the November ballots. During a Thursday meeting in Richmond the Republican ticket was pulled out of the bowl first - which gives GOP hopefuls running for the House of Delegates top billing too. In the grand scheme of things, name placement probably doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot in the campaign for the governor's office - because the race between Republican Bob McDonnell an...

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...
