During the Senate campaign, his wife said he wouldn't use his son for political gain. That statement didn't jive with the widely-circulated picture of him holding up his son's combat boots during one of his rallies. He also let it be known that he carried those boots around everywhere to remind himself of the stakes in the war. I respect and admire his military service, and think he's one of the great American novelists. But as a politician, especially in this latest edition, I find him objectionable. The rapidly shifting demographics brought on by rabid growth in Northern Virginia has turned this part of the Commonwealth into an ugly shade of purple.
I was glad to see the President deliver a good speech.
