Just days before next week’s election, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele stopped in Danville with the statewide Republican ticket Thursday morning to help rally and encourage voters.
Steele joined Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling and Ken Cuccinelli at the Danville Republican Headquarters on Piney Forest Road, addressing about 150 supporters and observers — including a government class from Chatham High School — expressing his confidence in a Republican sweep Nov. 3.
“What’s up Virginia,” Steele shouted to the group, garnering cheers and applause. “I just wanted to figure out what is going on in Virginia? Because there is a buzz going on.”

What track is that the “Bigger Government is better track”
It is kind of funny how the right is making such a big deal out of a possible win in a red state.
The NRA, insurance industry, oil industry, GOP and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have funneled millions into advertising in Virginia for McDonnell.
Along with Mr. Steele, they should have brought George Bush and Dick Cheney, of whom Mr. McDonnell commented in the first debate, on how he thought they did a good job during their eight year rein.
He must be referring to the economic devastation they caused. Leaving us the most economically vulnerable, as a nation, that we have been since the great depression. They did a fine job of that.
Thankfully, Rockit’s President has put us back on track.
