Have you seen the Inside Politics blog over at the Washington Times’ website? It’s surprisingly not bad, for a media blog.
The focus is largely on Virginia and Maryland politics, as you might have guessed. Some interesting stuff over there from Christina Bellantoni and company.

Norm points us to a podcast interview with former Governor Mark Warner.
He’s getting more publicity now that he’s out of the presidential race than he ever got as a candidate. Perhaps he should get back into the race.

Sen. George Allen is going to win the US Senate race in a couple of weeks…
…if we all work as hard as we can to make sure that Allen voters get to the polls. It’s time to focus on getting out the vote, folks. This race may end up being very close, so [...]

I see that the Pilot has endorsed GOP incumbent Thelma Drake in the 2nd Congressional district:
Despite that, the first-term congresswoman deserves to be returned to Congress over her opponent, overmatched Virginia Beach Commissioner of the Revenue Phil Kellam, who seems to be running a campaign built on the fact that he’s not her. Drake’s diligence [...]

I mentioned the Chris Graham article earlier, but Graham has more over at his blog — specifically, AG Bob McDonnell’s comments on a possible Mark Warner gubernatorial run in 2009:

While I was out of town, I missed this interesting post by NoVA Scout on Jim Webb:
But enough of them. Let’s talk about us. Republicans need to be very honest with themselves and the voters about this man: he is a national hero, he is a brilliant author, he is a complex [...]

Milton Copulos calls out Jim Webb for fibbing:

Via Bearing Drift, I see that National Review Online has taken a rather in-depth look (at least, for a national publication) of the 2nd Congressional District race here in Virginia. The article calls the race between Republican incumbent Thelma Drake and Dem challenger Phil “Silence of the” Kellams “the other hot Virginia race.” [...]
