Sometime ago a colleague suggested I write a blog. I ask why? She explained with your 25 years of experience including Capitol Hill, having managed to elect a Republican Governor in West Virginia during the 1996 Clinton landslide and playing a leading role in 2000 carrying West Virginia for an non-incumbent Republican for President (George W. Bush) for the first time in 70 years people would be interested in your take on the current political climate. She added don’t forget Bush 2004 and how your strategy in 2008 came close to upsetting a Commissioner of Agriculture in office over 40 years.
As observer of the national and state political world I decided to give it a try. My goal will be to offer a prospective on the current environment, tried and true ideas, criticize when needed, use my experiences as we look to the future and maybe even look back a few years.
My plan will be to post to www.phillipsbillboard.com when I have something to offer. Visit when you have time. Periodically, I will send an email alert of recent postings. When called for I send the post direct.
Over the years I have worked and communicated with many of you. If you do not want to receive my notice of posting please opt out below.
