Lohr on McCain’s energy plan

posted by finnegan

I caught up with Del. Matt Lohr at a press conference that he and Del. Chris Saxman held today in support of McCain’s energy policy.

The event was part of a statewide campaign by state Republicans to make McCain’s energy policy a major issue for Virginia voters.

I couldn’t help but find the irony in the hybrid car ad on yesterday’s TV3’s story about today’s press conference.

Also feel free to join us on the East lawn of the Court House tonight for National Night Out. We will begin by thanking the public safety officials like Fire, Police and EMS whose schedule permits them to join us for free food and a little handshaking. Smokin Pig, Chanellos and Blue Nile will generously be donating (and Midtowne of course) dinner for you and all of us to enjoy, but especially join us to honor our Public Safety officials who risk life and limb day in and out.

Best live interviewer in Rockingham County. Maybe you could do a seminar for the folks at WHSV and WSVA? - “How to Ask Substantiative Questions and Do Follow Up”.

Q: Matt Lohr can’t figure out the Commonwealth’s finances, what makes him think he knows that “drilling for oil will lower gas prices”?

Q: John McCain has been in Washington for 26 years, 12 of them with a Republican majority. What is the Republican Energy Plan?

finnegan, good interview.

Perhaps a similar interview with Gene Hart to contrast the Republican babble might be appropriate?

Fear the Fulk!

Go to 1:25 in the first video. When the jackhammer starts chattering Chris Saxman comes running, asking “is that Lowell Fulk, is that Lowell Fulk”.

No. Lowell Fulk doesn’t need a jackhammer to bust concrete. He looks at the concrete and it melts.

Sounds like Lowell Fulk is Chuck Norris’ democrat counterpart!

Great interview. The sound effects seemed appropriate. Like funeral bells tolling for the death of fossil fuel based energy policy.
