WJLA TV Governor's Forum

Wednesday, June 3, 2009


From 8 to 9 pm this evening, WJLA-TV broadcast a Virginia governor's forum. I watched most of it, although got interrupted a couple of times by phone calls, etc. Here are my "tweets" from the forum in lieu of a "live blog."

*On WJLA, Brian just ripped Creigh on guns (1-gun-a month, etc.)
*Brian again says he opposes the Surry coal plant but doesn't mention his support for Dominion's Wise County coal plant. Chutzpah!
*Very nice profile of Terry on WJLA-TV! Cameos by Mo, Ben...
*Terry emphasizes jobs, high-speed rail, transportation, winning back House of Delegates, focusing on things he can accomplish.
*I know I'm biased, but Terry really did well.. Also, I couldn't have written that WJLA profile of Terry together any better.
*Bob McDonnell ad: bringing people together? Yeah, right! LOLOLOLOL.
*WJLA notes that Creigh supports death penalty and "gun rights". How will that play in NOVA?
*Creigh: Marriage is between a man and a woman.
*No Brian, you won't beat Bob McDonnell. You won't even beat Terry or Creigh.
*@trentarmitage What do you think about Creigh's position on social issues in general? What about guns in bars?
*@trentarmitage Also, what about Creigh's support for offshore oil drilling and mountaintop removal coal mining?!?
*YouTube question, what ONE THING would you do? Terry - Jobs. Brian - uh, uh, uh, uh....starts the laundry list.
*What ONE thing? Only Terry answered the question the voter asked, the other two did the laundry list (moderator - "you're doing it").
*Why is everyone talking about Marshall-Newman as being voted on in 2007? That abomination was approved in 2006.
*No, Brian, you are NOT the "only one" who opposes offshore drilling. In fact, you voted for offshore gas exploration.
