The Race for the Virginia Capitol
posted by
Dismal clouds overshadowed the parking lot of Interstate Movers Saturday morning in 
Springfield, VA. But in no way did the extremities cast a blanket over the enthusiastic crowd who had gathered together for to hear Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling, & Ken Cuccinelli: Republican candidates for Governor, Lt. Governor, & Attorney General.
A litany of VIPs were also present to include the Gov. of Missouri, Rep. Frank Wolfe, former VA Senator and Gov. George Allen, and former Rep. Tom Davis.
Shortly after 9am, the rousing speeches began.
The impact of each volunteer was gratefully recognized.
Unlike most of their opponents who have resorted to negative ads & reports, the Republican candidates told the audience how they had run ‘Issue Focused Campaigns.’
McDonnell reminded the audience that the key to VA’s problems was not more programs but rather, smaller government.
In response to the issues of a struggling economy, failing healthcare, transportation crisis, educational improvement, and others, Bolling told the cheering crowd that, "Help is on the way!"
But though enthusiasm was running high as the finish line comes in site and with rising polls, Cuccinelli soberly reiterated the fact that polls don’t vote, people do. In a sense, he told the audience to, "Be not weary in well doing…" We must finish strong.
Why vote for these three candidates?
All three oppose the repeal of the marriage amendment, support the banning of embryonic stem cell research, oppose the homosexual hate crime statute, support the teaching of abstinence, support VA’s private property rights, and supports the prohibiting of state funding for low-income elective abortions.
Election day is only hours away. Who do you know that should be reminded to vote? When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice….(Pr 29:2). As Virginians, we have an opportunity to elect three candidates who share Judeo-Christian values. Let us not sit idly by and so allow wicked to corrupt.
Excitement fills the air and anticipation biulds. May we continue praying for these men who are sacrificing their time and resources for the betterment of our commonwealth.
We remember George Allen as Governor when we lived there in VA, and when Mark Early was Lt. Governor. There was a spirit of freedom that could be felt and we pray for the best now. (See y’all soon!)
Great post, Josh! It’s at times like this that I wish I was still a resident of Virginia.
I also distinctly remember Governor George Allen. I hope that McDonnell is able to follow in his footsteps.
Praise the Lord for the victory He gave to Gov. elect McDonnel, Lt. Gov. Bolling, & Att. Gen. Cunninelli!!
Speaking of Gov. Allen, we were there when he signed the parental notification bill.
And we did a lot of campaining for Mark Early – I think more than anybody else.
