Today, Republican leaders took to the skies of the Commonwealth to make their case for maintaining Republican control of both houses of the General Assembly. The Washington Post's Tim Craig filed this report this afternoon highlighting the key points of the GOP's message.

Essentially, the GOP is asking Virginia's voters to look at the numerous accomplishments of the Republican legislature over the past 7 years, as well as their ambitious goals for the future, and contrast that with the Democrat's campaign of Bush-bashing and a complete lack of positive initiatives for Virginia.

This evening, I had the opportunity to participate in a bloggers conference call with Party Chairman John Hager, Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling, Attorney General Bob McDonnell and several other bloggers.

Hager, Bolling and McDonnell all did an excellent job of laying out the GOP record of accomplishments on education reform, welfare reform, public safety reform, tax reform, transportation reform, and a host of other achievements. Further, they stressed the importance of pointing out not only that the Democrats have absolutely nothing to offer in terms of a positive agenda, but also that electing a liberal Democrat General Assembly to go with this liberal Democrat Governor would make two serious Left turns for our Commonwealth. As we all know, two left turns makes one big U-Turn.

I will have much more from this conference call throughout the week, and I cannot stress enough how important it is for all Republicans to get on board these last 29 days and make sure that our legislature remains in Republican hands.

I also look forward to reading what the other bloggers on the call have to say so stay tuned to Scott's Morning Brew, Leslie Carbone, and others for follow-up.
