#2 In fake news this morning, backpedaled when confronted with his interesting views about Jewish conspiracies. "Okay - maybe it isn't specifically the Hebes," he said in a press conference outside his South Carolina vacation home. "It was the Republicans. For all their talk about how important unilateralism is, the fact is they fear it. Here I am, working hand in hand with politically disparate politicians like David Dukes and Pat Buchanan, and it's freakin' 'em out. I represent the potential for a unification along all party lines, and hence a way to make the world safe from kikes, darkies, and wetbacks. The Republicans don't want anything to do it - they're the ones living in a dream world." The Anti-Defamation League said of his remarks, "Holy shit! How did this f**ker ever get elected to congress?!"

#5 I apologize if the above fake news dispatch is over the top, but I have to ask, isn't it just weird to see some democrats embracing the same bigoted qualities with which they have stereotyped Republicans for the last umpteen decades?

#6 Mike he only got 60% last time in the general, against an unknown Republican, in the most solid Dem district in northern Virginia. (the legislature here protects incumbents by putting all the Dems in Morans district, and leaving Davis and Wolf's districts solidly GOP. this leaves Moran's district very oddly shaped - it stretches along a highway to get Reston, on of northern Fairfaxz county's only Dem enclaves. This helps Dem Moran, as well as GOP Davis and Wolf) I dont want to use the word "cakewalk", but my confidence is high. biggest obstacle is potential division among the challengers State Sen. (and Ex-congresswoman) Byrne, Fairfax cnty exec Hanley, ex-Lt.Gov Beyer, and dark horse ex-Gore aid Bash.

#10 This guys is why so much of the REAL Virginia has gone Republican. REAL Virginia excludes the carpetbaggers around Reston and the DC Bedroom.

I grew up in Roanoke (big Railroad union town back when the old N&W was run from there), Nobody ever voted Republican there, until the Dems blew it.

#11 actually OS, most of bedroom Nova votes republican - NoVa has 3 cong. Districts, 2 are solidly GOP - Affluent folks in Fairfax, contractors in Loudon, military all over. The 8th is Arlington, Alex, and a few parts of fairfax - minorities, gays, Jews, single condo dwellers, rehabbers.

Dems do at least as well in central city Richmond as in Nova.

In any case Moran is NOT particularly liberal - he supports "pro-business" credit reform, and was one of a handful of dems who broke ranks on a key procedural vote on Clintons impeachment. The anti-Israel stuff (and its antisemitic overtones) isnt out of leftism - its more out of left field.

#12 While we're on domestic politics:

"Thousands of union workers bearing American flags and homemade signs packed a rally at ground zero Thursday to show their support for U.S. military efforts in Iraq."

Makes me proud to be pro-union.

#13 What I really find silly is the fact that Jews actually vote fro Democrats. Have they not learned from the mistakes of Dimmy Carter and Zipper Clinton? If these are your friends, you don't need any enemies.
