Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://www.billbolling.com/blog/post/1777 The Virginia Gentleman 2012-01-17T00:00:00Z http://www.billbolling.com/blog/post/1734 Last Tuesday, Virginians gave our Republican party a historic victory, historic responsibility and historic opportunity. In the House of Delegates, Republicans added 7 seats, bringing our total to 68 Republicans - the highest number in Virginia history. In the State Senate, Republicans picked up 2 seats bringing our total to 20. When you add in my tie-breaking vote, that gives us an effective Republican majority in the Senate as well. This is only the second time Republicans have controlled the Governor's Office, Senate and House of Delegates at the same time.

It was a day that changed the world as we knew it. It was a day when time stood still. It was a day when we were confronted with an experience that seemed surreal. It was a day we will never forget.

Governor Bill Bolling, who fired up the crowd with a great speech (his title may lose that first part next cycle). The candidates looked seasoned and ready to push hard to November, their staffs almost looked rested, and the voting membership looked eager to do their part by volunteering for their favorite candidates.

The annual gathering is a must for anyone interested in Virginia politics.

That?s why I have supported a bipartisan redistricting process where legislative districts are based on a sincere effort to achieve objective criteria such as compactness, contiguousness and common interest.
