Last evening, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a dinner and panel discussion hosted by the Nimmo Republican Women’s Club out at the Virginia Beach National Golf Club.

Democrats and progressives in Virginia Beach, and around the nation, couldn’t have asked for a much better result from the 2008 election. I’m absolutely amazed at the outcomes of some of the races and mostly pleasantly surprised. I spent the evening at Guadalajara’s in Town Center, here in Virginia Beach. We had some VIP guests [...]
