Catch Up…..Political Tidbits

Jan 24, 2011

Balanced Federal Budget was the topic of a Center Right Coalition seminar organized by Delegate John Overington…..a national authority on a limited convention for a balanced budget amendment explained…..32 states have completed a Call on Congress directing it to convene a convention…..maybe WV political insiders may get to practice with a convention to nominate party candidates for Governor.

Talk about federal spending…..a North Carolina reader sent along a LINK that brilliantly and simply explains how overspent the government is…..this great visual was created by a college student…..maybe Obama will show it during TSOU speech!!!!!

TIME TO REDRAW congressional and LEGISLATIVE DISTICTS…..it is not done in Washington ….it’s done in the states….mostly in the legislature….mapmakers were in Washington this weekend for training by the National Conference of State Legislatures.

WV redistricting is to be done this summer in a special legislative session…..while it is possible political parties are holding conventions…..to nominate the candidates for Governor…..or at least engaged in a hot contest to become Chief Executive Officer…..don’t make vacation plans…..you won’t want to miss a minute.

Speaker John Boehner has established a direct email address.  It’s [email protected].

How did I miss this one…..Justice Robin Davis husband hosted a fund raiser…..a while back for Treasurer John Perdue…..guess if he runs Justice Davis will not…..or at least without her husband’s funds.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT….Charleston Gazette columnist Phil Kabler says “…..if I had to go to Vegas today and place an early bet on the Oct. 4 election, my money would be on former Republican secretary of state Betty Ireland.”

Ronald Wilson Reagan’s centennial Birthday is this year…..a special Ronald Reagan Commemorative section of USA TODAY has a piece by Mitt Romney.
