1. Ralph Stanley.... Wow.

Can't think of anyone in Virginia who is more beloved.

[elleng]

4. Good way to get Virginians' attention, eh???

[madrchsod]

2. what? ralph is a democrat?

i love his music and never gave a thought of his politics.

10. Yes indeed Ralph is one of US!!

He did a commercial for the President in the '08 campaign that was very effective.

I love me some Ralph!

16. Good to be reminded of..thanks Bake!

3. How great, looking forward to video nt

[HopeHoops]

5. Cantor needs to get laid. Old ugly virgin guys aren't the best lawmakers.

Maybe it's all the wedgies he got in gym locker rooms, but the guy couldn't get laid if he gave a 15th Street hooker a million dollars. I think that explains his stupid anger at everything real.

[elleng]

6. Dear Hope, I DON'T think that's his problem,

nothing quite so simple.

[HopeHoops]

7. What? His "Mr. Dinky" isn't up for the job? Okay. I can see that.

[elleng]

8. NO, silly, he's married and has kids,

so it was up for the job at least 3 times, apparently!

Cantor met his wife, Diana Marcy Fine, on a blind date; they were married in 1989.[7][17][55] They have three children: Evan, Jenna, and Michael. Prior to meeting her husband, Fine was a lifelong liberal Democrat; contrary to her husband's positions, she is pro-choice and supports same-sex marriage.[56]

Diana Cantor is a lawyer and certified public accountant. She founded, and from 1996 until 2008 was executive director of, the Virginia College Savings Plan (an agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia). She was also chairman of the board of the College Savings Plans Network.[55][57][58] Mrs. Cantor is a Managing Director in a division of Emigrant Bank, a subsidiary of New York Private Bank & Trust Corp.

9. Do you actually think any female would let him fuck her? She cheated. Only way.

You can't be that pent up without being a virgin guy. It just isn't possible. Perhaps he got married (well, evidence suggests that), but I doubt he ever got laid. Diana must have had a lot of headaches. Besides, she's a fairly nice looking woman. She wouldn't have much trouble finding an actual man to service her. rLyan doesn't qualify for a "man".

[elleng]

11. Dunno; I've got real problems with her,

FORMERLY a Democrat???

[Cha]

12. And, there it is! Wouldn't it be Fantastic

if this Sealed the Deal!?

Thanks elleng..this is Awesome!

Powell's campaign announced Tuesday that the 85-year-old bluegrass music icon -- known by most for his Grammy Award-winning music in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" -- will campaign with him in Virginia's 7th District on Oct. 23-24 and play shows in six towns. The name of the tour: "O Cantor, Where Art Thou?"

That's how I got to know Ralph Stanley~

I think we all know where cantor's head is.

[elleng]

13. Was VERY excited when I saw this,

and VERY happy you've seen it, Cha!!!

P.S., Did you see post of e.mail from Wayne Powell's wife? (Yesterday, several posts.)

'I won't stand for this.'
Katherine Powell

[Cha]

14. Yeah, I had to go and buy the cd after that movie..I loved it!

No, I didn't get any email from Katherine Powell yesteday..bummer. but, can you c/p what she said?



Wait! I just found them in my Junk pile! Get right back to you, elleng.

[Cha]

15. I'm glad Katherine Powell is pointing out

about what Cantor and the tea bag gang are doing to Women under his abusive power!

GOTWOMEN's VOTE!

[elleng]

19. Damn right!

Women will decide this election. And they should. Their rights have been attacked especially hard over the last couple of years, and they deserve a chance to fight back. I want to help them fight.
