Rand Paul on Cuccinelli

What does Kentucky senator Rand Paul think of our Attorney General?
I think he’s one of the rising stars in the Republican party. He reminds me of Ted Cruz a lot – educated, erudite, an intellectual in the defense of the Constitution and limited government. He was right out there in front on Obamacare, I think filed the first case, I think they say he was waiting at the courthouse steps ready to go, an articulate defender of limited government. That’s what we need more of.
Guess we'll be seeing him around here this spring.

It started in Virginia

One of today's top Twitter trends is #EmptyChairDay.
Legal Insurrection began promoting it Saturday night, after getting a photo from Virginia Beach.
Time to take out the trash.

Polls hurt

Rep. Robert Hurt's campaign has an internal poll showing him leading by 18 points.
Keep your cameras away from John Douglass.

Kaine's sunk

Public Policy Polling has the Senate race tied 46-46 Thursday.
The sample gives Democrats a 7-point edge.
In the real world, it means Tim Kaine is losing big.

Public Policy leans left again

Another Public Policy poll Tuesday - Obama up five.
Another Democratic lean - D+7 in a state with Republican leadership throughout the legislature.
When asked who they voted for in 2008, it's 51-44 for Obama. A bigger margin than the actual 52.6 percent to 46.3 percent.
The May poll also had D+7, and Obama led that poll by eight points.
So Romney's gaining even as the polling remains skewed.

More Tracker fun

SWACgirl saw an old friend at the Homestead Saturday. Alan the tracker. All of those hours following George Allen - has he found anything to use yet?

Leave me alone

A car from Charlottesville gets the featured space on Legal Insurrection this morning.
