Northern Virginia Conservative

Meet and greet the newest Marshall for Senate endorsee over at The Northern Virginia Conservative, remarkable because this blog had formerly endorsed Jim Gilmore and thought better of it:
A few months ago, I endorsed Jim Gilmore's Senate candidacy on this blog. This campaign has shown me that he is NOT the man for the job. He is a classic glad-handing establishment politician. The Republican party, particularly here in the Old Dominion, is at a crisis point in terms of not only electoral success, but in terms of its identity. We have lost our way very, very badly the past few years by pandering to a very loud, very boorish social conservative minority, while at the same time making a Faustian bargain with people who are anything but conservative for the sake of winning. The worst part is that we keep losing despite that.

It's time for a change. Bob Marshall actually took the time to call me personally a week or two ago, and spent half an hour making a powerful case for his candidacy. I part ways with him on some social issues, but he is absolutely right on on just about everything else from fiscal issues to border security and immigration. He does not ever compromise his fundamental principles. It's just not close.
I can hear the laughter of the more jaded politicos now... a half hour talking to one voter???

Yep.

That's how much Marshall cares. Name me another politician who would do that for an undecided voter?

Glad to hear it!!
I have had great success convincing Gilmore voters to switch to Bob when they hear the whole story.
A real conservative on all counts, not just a few accolades to convince us he's real.
No having to" move to the right" to elected!!
Man, I'm excited about a Republican candidate again!
A man who just tells the truth with no political double speak.
Go Bob!!

Thanks, Shaun. I'll be heading down to Richmond tomorrow to support Bob. And Jeff Frederick.
