2008-10-10
Congressman Randy Forbes, who is seeking reelection on November 4th, and former Governor Jim Gilmore, who is opposing Democrat Mark Warner to succeed John Warner in the U.S Senate, both oppose the recently passed federal bailout bill. This Sunday, they will be On the Record to talk about why they think it was the wrong option for Congress and will suggest alternative solutions. And on My Minute, will we finally get a good debate out of the two Presidential candidates?

 On the Record: 4th D. candidate Andrea Miller; Virginia politics with Frank Atkinson
2008-09-29
With all the mayhem in Washington, who would want to be a Congressman these days? Andrea Miller does. The computer consultant from Chesterfield County is the Democratic nominee to oppose Republican Randy Forbes in the 4th District which extends from Chesapeake to south of Richmond. She is anti-war, pro-alternative energy and is carrying on a low budget, but feisty campaign to unseat the incumbent. I'll also talk to Frank Atkinson, who has written two books on Virginia politics, about whether the state could go blue in the November presidential election for the first time in 44 years.

 On the Record: Va. Beach politics
2008-09-18
Most Virginia Beach residents have never voted in a city council or mayor's election because they are held in May when turnouts are typically low. But that will change this year because the state's largest city has moved its local elections to November 4th when the Presidential contest will drive tens of thousands to the polls. There is a four way race for mayor and the candidates go On the Record.

 On the Record: Portsmouth, Hampton politics
2008-09-15
Portsmouth State Senator Louise Lucas is not giving up on her attempt to win city endorsement of empowerment zone bond financing for a $60-million hotel and conference center on Victory Boulevard. City Council voted it down in July, but Lucas says she has scaled back the proposal slightly but still believes there is a strong market for the project. She makes her case, along with her attorney Bill Nusbaum and development consultant Mike Glenn. Also, meet the new mayor of Hampton, Molly Ward, whom Port Folio Weekly has dubbed "The Anti-Politician". On My Minute, staring down tropical storms.
