I know you got screwed in VA with only Romney and Ron Paul on the presidential primary ballot, and I’m sure you have good reasons to want to create a new party in VA (although I would posit that it would be easier to retake the GOP than to run a third-party candidate and have the Dems win by default; and isn’t Bob McDonnell like 100 times more conservative than Doug Wilder?). That being said, Virgil Goode is running for president, not for state senator or Lt. Governor, and if he takes 3% of the vote in VA it could throw the state (and likely the presidency) to Obama. If anything, Goode’s role as a spoiler would doom any chance your nascent conservative movement would have of succeeding.

Nope, not talking about a NEW PARTY, but a really serious reform of the Virginia Republican party ~ we have a whole big bunch of relatively Conservative African Americans around here who dote on Doug Wilder and actually seek out his political counsel.

There's no reason they have to be tied down over there with the union thugs and nonprofit industry in Alexandria.

Part of the reform will be to look at the record to seek out and REMOVE current establishment and Mittbot types from positions of party leadership, or membership in the state legislature.

If that crowd want to participate in politics they should go where they are welcome.

BTW, McDonnell is a faux conservative ~ and Wilder is hardly a Leftwingtard ~ his "rainy day fund" approach (save some in good times to pay for the bad times to come) is incredibly conservative.

The Democrat big dogs were terribly unhappy with him during his term as Governor.
