Democratic Attorney General nominee Steve Shannon and Lieutenant Governor nominee Jody Wagner have issued statements inquiring what their opponents - Ken Cuccinelli (who's even more extreme than Bob McDonnell, if that's possible) and Bill Bolling think about McDonnell's Dominionist, theocratic thesis. First, here's Steve Shannon's statement:
As Attorney General you have to have focus and priorities, and Virginia has some very serious crime fighting challenges that have to be met over the next four years. Virginians deserve to know that Ken Cuccinelli shares the startling political agenda that is outlined in Bob McDonnell's thesis.
Next, here's Jody Wagner's strong statement:
Jody Wagner is extremely proud of her accomplishments as a mother of four, an attorney, a small business owner, and a public official. She believes we should be doing more-not less-to help working families cope with the challenges of raising children while managing careers. Bill Bolling and Bob McDonnell have been joined at the hip for years, as Bolling voted for measures that would have weakened standards for child care and safety, opposed additional funding for public schools, and resorted to parliamentary tactics to defeat proposals to expand pre-K education. If Bolling agrees with the vision for Virginia that Bob McDonnell articulated in his thesis-as his votes indicate he does-he should say so. If he doesn't agree, he should speak up.
Good questions. Any answers?
