Sample ballot: Prognostication of Progress picks for provincial political positions
It’s a highly anticipated central Virginia tradition: Each year, regional candidates, their campaigns, and the public anxiously await dilatory (and greatly coveted) political endorsements issued by the Charlottesville Daily Progress editorial board. Problematic for potential endorsees is that the Progress defers—until the last minute possible—publication of their affirmations, rendering them nearly useless for political purposes. [...]

McIntosh, Galvin and Paul: A musical tribute to political mediocrity
Like establishment Democrats before them, Peter McIntosh, Kathy Galvin, Paul Beyer, and Satyendra Huja all said “no” or did not respond to repeated invitations to share their vision for Charlottesville on The Schilling Show. These political invertebrates stand in stark contrast to dozens of Dems over the years that accepted without reservation (including fellow 2011 [...]
Beyer’s remorse: Democrat council hopeful seeks counsel from, then shuns Schilling Show
Following in the footsteps of political stablemates Kathy Galvin and Peter McIntosh, a third establishment candidate for Charlottesville City Council has refused multiple invitations to appear on WINA’s The Schilling Show.

A surprise guest fortuitously was present for the Jefferson Area Tea Party’s 2011 Tax Day Rally: Charlottesville Mayor Dave Norris (Norris the Red). Arriving at the Downtown Mall rally site shortly after former Charlottesville City Councilor Rob Schilling publicly invoked his name, Norris witnessed much of Schilling’s scathing 10-minute dissertation. The ruddy Mayor was lectured [...]
