Politics, open government, and safe streets. And the constant incursion of cycling.

Republican Party of Virginia: Political Party or Party Entertainment?

Waldo, as always, does an excellent job of highlighting the sorry state of affairs in the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV).  Now, considering their reliably absurd politics, the damage that they’ve done to Virginia, and my own partisan bent, you’d think I’d get nothing but joy out of his.  And really, there is quite a bit of joy at the moment.  But at some point (and that point will come sooner than later), Virginia’s Democrats will need the discipline that comes from competition with a serious and viable political alternative.  So long as these current jokers over at the RPV are in charge, Virginia’s Democrats won’t get that competition.  And that’s bad for everyone.
