Some really great news yesterday concerning Virginia's Governor Bob McDonnell who was not afraid to take a stand against those who stain the good name of Confederate soldiers and civilians who took a stand for what they believe in when he officially declared April Confederate History Month.
McDonnell is a Republican and his two Democratic predecessors refused to do recognize it so, for the last eight years, there was none. This story appeared in a lot of sources. The Washington Post ran an opinion poll and, last night the vote, out of 34,929 cast, was 32% agreeing with his decision and 68% against it.
I don't know anything else about the man, but you have to admire him standing up for his convictions despite the unpopularity of it these days. This is something I hope all southern governors seriously consider.
Hey, living here in Illinois and with our record of recent governorship, I'd sure be likely to vote for him should he move here.
Finally, a Man of Conviction. --Old B-Runner
