Painting the Midwest Red: A Sea Change is Coming in this Year’s Governors’ Races
By: Fred Malek (Diary) | February 22nd at 05:12 PM |
The big news and focus in right-of-center and Republican circles this time of year is always CPAC. For many students and young people, it is their first exposure to the wide-ranging and yes, diverse people and organizations that make up the conservative movement, and it is very important. But it’s also not the only important event that happens this time. As it happens, I spent | Read More »

In my post earlier this week, I discussed the meeting of the RGA’s Executive Roundtable and visit to Aspen Institute on August 3-4. I’ll continue here.

Why Bob McDonnell Will Win Virginia, and What it Can Mean for the Republican Party
By: Fred Malek (Diary) | June 10th at 05:00 PM |
As a Virginian and a member of the Republican Governor’s Association, I’m glad that the Democratic primary is settled and now the campaign for Virginia governor can begin.
