CLA Radio 11/29/13: Stuff

The next ConservativeLA Radio show (on Duane FM in the Hughniverse, Friday, 11/29, 7:00 Pacific/10:00 Eastern) will consist of very little talk and a lot of great music. There will be no particular theme, just music I like–probably all of which has been played on the show previously at one time or another. In a word: Stuff. The idea was to to keep the work load at a minimum for Thanksgiving week, both for Generalissimo and myself. Beats a rerun, right? 😀 Hope you can stop by and listen, and join us in chat!

Why Cuccinelli Lost in Virginia

As all of the pundits write their summaries of the Virginia gubernatorial race on Tuesday, it is not hard to figure out why Ken Cuccinelli lost: he was left out to rot by the GOP. According to Cuccinelli campaign strategist, Chris La Civita, financial support from national Republicans dried up on October 1. The Washington Post reported: “There are a lot of questions people are going to be asking and that is, was leaving Cuccinelli alone in the first week of October, a smart move?” La Civita said after Cuccinelli’s concession speech, according to the Post. “We were on...
