Romney takes the lead

Rasmussen Reports has Mitt Romney taking a one-point lead in Virginia with a poll taken Thursday.
That's with 10,000 or more Romney fans at Fishersville - not getting calls on an overloading system. Rep. Bob Goodlatte was too busy introducing the rally to be asked a poll question.

Virginia still tight

Powerline brings the results of a pair of Virginia polls - one by NBC12 with the candidates tied, and the second with Obama leading by two.
Both polls have a three-point registration edge for Democrats.
Closer to reality than most recent polls.
Likely closer to our current reality.

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.

Time to take out the trash.

Kaine's sunk

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.
