UPDATED: Where Are They Now?: People from the 5th District House Race

Update #1: Adding a name that was suggested by email. Thanks!

When Tom Perriello returned to Southside VA earlier this week (note that he didn’t make it to Danville), I was asked what happened to the major & minor players that participated in the 2010 election. That’s a good question and in the typical SouthsideCentral […]

It’s not shouting at a telephone pole…

County sheriff elections are bad for the amount of animosity… but they make for good TossUps!

Don McEachin, please shut up.

We’re starting our rebirth with a bang! (ugh… horrible pun)
