From the Credit Where Credit Is Due Department, the formerly awful* RPV weekly newsletter has gotten a lot better under acting chair Mike Thomas. It used to be shrill, packed with lies and exaggerations, and very negative, largely dedicated to attacking Democrats or, more often, a strawman version of Democrats. Now it’s upbeat, forward-looking, and informative. If this is an indicator of the Republican Party of Virginia to come, things are looking up for them.
