1. Does he have the power/influence/votes to do this?

Answer: Bob said he would get it done at numerous speeches and during his primary win acceptance in Richmond. Is he just another politician blowing hot air to get a freakin’ job? I don’t know but we shall soon see.

2. Is there oil off the Virgina/Carolina/Delaware/New Jersey (Mid-Atlantic) coast?

YES there is, off of the Virginia coast is all that I am concerned about!

Austerity. So THAT'S why I haven't received my invite to the big hoe-down.

1) I think he does.

2) No one knows for SURE until they drill, but the geology is certainly promising.

The opposite. This place is hell.

Republicans need to re-think ALL OF IT, right down to the inauguration. That’s what won Palin so much respect - she sold the jet. She cut back.

We’re sick of the talk. We’re looking for whether you are walking the walk.

New urbanism sounds truly terrible and I'm not quite sure what it even means yet.

Sounds like "ghetto transit" to me. Since the poor people can't have beater cars any more (thanks Obama!) they have to get to the grocery store somehow.

The cost of the inauguration should be measured in five figures or less.

Not with State Police overtime...

You don’t need state police overtime if you have a televised ceremony inside the mansion. A cake, some punch, you’re done.

I got one, but I’m not going. I can’t afford to with Big Zero’s tax increases in the next year. Gotta give the peeps their free health care, don’cha know.

You are aware that the only way Virginia can drill off the coast of the state is if the federal govt allows it. So it will take the utmost in tact and diplomacy to receive the federal permits. FWIW, I don’t think the current bosses in the federal govt will grant the permits to the state to allow drilling, which is OK, because it can be an election issue.
