    Link only as you probably know this story from January. The trio in Virginia need to live by the same PC standards that the Dems and press impose on the rest of the country. The Richmond Trio need to resign NOW!

Seminole's election chief, Mike Ertel, said he was still "tremendously concerned," but stopped well short of calling the incident "fraud." The Republican National Committee, though, levelled the accusation and blasted the housing and wage advocacy group in a nationwide conference call with reporters, saying...
