I looked at a few more of Weigel’s articles. They’re all like that.

He’s just another 2004 grad in Journalism/PolySci major.

Here’s how Weigel voted in 2006:

David Weigel, Assistant Editor
Residence: Fairfax, Virginia
Registered party affiliation: None
How are you voting?
“For U.S. Senate: James Webb. It’s a choice between him and George Allen; what’s the dictionary’s definition of “no-brainer?” Webb is an honest-to-God renaissance man – novelist, historian, soldier, presidential advisor – who’d immediately balance out the Senate I.Q. scale that Barbara Boxer and Jeff Sessions have been tipping the wrong way since the 90s. He’s right on the war, right on gay marriage, and hideously wrong on taxes and trade, but I care most about that first issue. The thought of Webb sitting in the tall chairs at Armed Service Committee hearings, grilling Donald Rumsfeld until his glasses fog up, is a pleasant one. “

“For U.S. Congress: Democrat Andrew Hurst, who’s challenging Republican Tom Davis. Davis epitomizes the 1994 Republican freshman gone wrong – he’s gotten power-hungry and trivial, blocking development of housing in his district because he worried about Democrats moving in, and presiding over the idiotic baseball hearings. Hurst is a doctrinaire liberal who won’t win, so this is basically a protest vote.”

“For ballot initiatives and/or state constitutional amendments: I’m voting no on Ballot Question #1, the latest idiotic couples’ rights rollback masquerading as a gay marriage ban. It’s an abomination that’ll pass handily.”

“There’s no one else I can vote for, since Virginia holds state legislative elections in odd years. And beyond the Senate race Virginia isn’t seeing many close battles… Republicans have an outside chance of losing a House seat in Virginia Beach, but that’s it. I will definitely be watching my home turf of Delaware, to see if Joe Biden’s dashing son Beau wins the open Attorney General’s office.”

To which do you refer?
Fred’s been a disaster so far. Just saying.
