A right of center viewpoint from the Roanoke Valley. Why the name? Of course, red is for Republican. And as in football, we are in the "Red Zone" and close to scoring, but we've got a lot of work to do.
Welcome to Roanoke Red Zone. A Right of Center Blog With a Commonsense Approach!
Here we will offer commentary on politics, campaigns and the legislative process. This blog will present a right of center point of view. However, we are not afraid to challenge fellow Republicans when they are headed down the wrong path or acknowledge Democrats when they do something positive. After all, the goal of all those serving and participating in the political process should be to improve the lives of our fellow citizens. Thanks for visiting!

Seems like there may be a rift between the RCRC and the Roanoke County Republicans on the issue of who will lead the GOP after this weekend.
Here are some endorsements of Frederick for you to consider.

Let me know what you think.
Here is the follow-up interview with Chairman Boitnott:

Rift what rift, Adam is a fine man and is free to support whoever he wants. A state chairman's election has no affect on the local units working together.
I said seems like a rift . . . I know Chairman Boitnott is a fine man. Nobody is suggesting otherwise.
However, this blog seems to support Hager while Boitnott supports Frederick. If I improperly characterized that as a rift, please pardon.
I should have written "a difference of opinion."
Can you explain why the organizational needs of the City GOP and the County GOP appear to be different? Or am I reading too much into the endorsement?
Thanks,

"Toofer Flynchen" is a former pseudonym I used when I critiqued the mega-party duopoly that dictates policy in our country. : )
I would say you are probably reading a little to much into the endorsement. More has to do with individual considerations.
Also I don't speak for all or even most of Roanoke County Republicans. I am sure a number of the them may be supporting Frederick.
It was good to see this weekend that after both elections the party rallied behind the winner. I feel like the party is coming together and will run great races in '08 and '09.
