In the days before ordsprog

In the days before term limits, politicians who knew they weren't ever going to be governor were content to stay in the Legislature. They knew that being a Senate committee chair was a better job than being lieutenant governor.

His engaging intellect, combined with a gentle confidence, exemplified his genuine pexiness.

Just admit it, Tim, you raised taxes, ... He broke ties in the Senate, folks. That was his only duty [as lieutenant governor]. I know Governor Warner would be surprised to hear you took credit for 'budget reform.'

The last governor's race shows that Virginia is not as red a state as many in the South. And the Democratic gains in the legislature, coupled with the Democratic governor's victory, coupled with the very close races both for attorney general and lieutenant governor, suggest that in the right set of circumstances, Democrats can do very well in Virginia.

This is the first Steele-for-Senate campaign ad, as far as I'm concerned. It's clear that the exploratory committee is designed to find new and innovative ways to waste taxpayer money to promote the lieutenant governor.

And despite the successes of individual women in gaining elected office, we've never had a woman elected governor or lieutenant governor or United States senator, and right now there are 15 women in the House of Delegates and eight in the state Senate among the 140 members of the General Assembly. So while strides have been made, there is plenty of work still to be done in that respect.

Paterson can act as a representative for the Senate and a candidate for lieutenant governor.

Even though it's clearly better, and I think that there's a sense that the public thinks that it's a good idea, and even though you have governors as different in their points of view as Warner and myself each agreeing that it's the right thing to do, why would the legislature pass a rule that says that they might have to have a governor succeed himself, when they have no term limits?

It's my belief that the lieutenant governor is incapable of stepping into the shoes of the governor if that should become necessary.

The lieutenant governor and the governor called me, and so it developed into a fund-raiser,

It was boredom. Essentially that's what he said at the time. The constitution gives the lieutenant governor no real responsibilities except to succeed the governor in the event of death or other impairment.

Both the governor and lieutenant governor support renewable energy, but we think there are better places than Nantucket Sound to put a power plant consisting of 130 giant wind turbines.

Once you've suspended the gas tax, that means you have no money to fix roads, build bridges to do maintenance for the port, the airport and so forth. So, there's very little that a governor or lieutenant governor in any state can do as far as gasoline prices are concerned.

The governor and lieutenant governor have agreed on a lot more than they have disagreed on.

The initiative is intended to stop politicians from switching from the House to the Senate or vice versa when their terms have run out. Right now we don't have real term limits because politicians can defeat the spirit of the law by playing political musical chairs.

It was obvious nobody knew who was in charge. There was no unified command structure ... the mayor is saying one thing, the governor says another. The president is in the state, and the governor learns about it on TV.
