Interesting news in a telcon today. A big event is planned for political activists and junkies of the Right persuasion. Virginia Conservatie Action PAC (VCAP) is going to host a Conservative Convention for Virginia.
One day affair with volunteer delegations from every city and county on Saturday, November 11th , 2006 at the Richmond Convention Center.
Presidential candidates Allen, Frist, McCain, and Romney scheduled to appear, unless their truth changes. Huckabee is a maybe – if his schedule changes.
Keynote speaker is scheduled but hush-hush for now.
Other Conservative organizations are invited to participate.
This is part of the VCAP effort to identify and build a voting base of 1 million Conservative Virginian voters.
More details to follow as they are developped.
It’ll be very interesting to see if this effort can move the ball in Virginia’s electoral politics and in policy issues in the General Assembly.
Full Disclosure: I was asked and volunteered to be on the Steering Committee. Hope my business travel doesn’t take me out of state in early November.
