Jaded JD has some comments about the Virginia 2005 Elections website and it’s recent fumblings (which might be too strong a word).
Is NLS looking for a way to stay relevant during the dry season between now and September? Perhaps so. . . maybe focusing on the statewide races would be a good focus in the meantime? A couple of debates about the direction of RPV and the DPVA? Third party candidates? I don’t really have those answers. The personal zingers don’t enhance a well-earned reputation though. When NLS does reveal himself/herself over time (and privately I hope that doesn’t occur), people will judge the blog on the quality and insight of its posts. Thus far, that reputation continues to hold firm.
For one, I particularly enjoy the site, and even enjoy the controversy “not jim gilmore” created. Frankly, if the comments came anonymously from the “Gang of 17”, it’s very telling to see what they really think of Virginia’s conservatives. Name one other website with the clout to pull similar information?
It’s a great idea, a great blog, and has spawned more than one imitator. Looking forward to a day when the site returns to it’s target-rich environment.
