The Virgil Vigil.
Raising Kaine has launched a Virgil Vigil. They’re tracking what every top Republican officeholder in Virginia has to say about Rep. Virgil Goode’s xenophobic attack on Rep. Keith Ellison. Sen. John Warner is both the top Republican elected official in Virginia and the only one to offer a value judgment on Goode’s remarks thus far. I’ve never bought the logic that every member of a party should be held to the beliefs of any single member, but given the enormous amount of international attention received by Goode’s remarks, and Sen. Warner’s apology, I do find it curious that Virginia’s Republican officials have clammed up.
