Steve Shannon ran this ad in the last month of his campaign: If those IP addresses are an indicator of Steve Shannon’s technical prowess, I don’t think he was going to catch those child pornographers after all. Here’s a screenshot, if you missed it: This is a bit like tracking Virginia criminals by their phone numbers, and [...]

Steve Shannon is picking up a lot of momentum in the homestretch here, which is perhaps what the campaign was hoping for as it has a large cash on hand advantage during these final days. When you combine that with the fact that he appears to have a strong GOTV program, he could potentially make this race a lot closer than the polls are suggesting. Having said that, a double digit lead...

In a strongly worded endorsement today, The Virginian-Pilot editorial board endorsed Steve Shannon for Attorney General. Much of the endorsement laid bare how bad it would be for Republican Ken Cuccinelli to win next week’s election. The Pilot concluded: To put it politely, Cuccinelli’s election would bring embarrassment to Virginia, instability to the state’s law firm...

The charmed life of Steve Shannon is over. Babied, cared for, allowed to take credit for issues he had nothing to do on the back bench, Steve Shannon has never been really challenged in his political career. In 2009, he...

Ken Cuccinelli is too far to the right for the Free Lance-Star? Ouch. They write that Steve Shannon “can speak knowledgeably about gang violence, cropping up even in Virginia’s boonies, and his prosecutorial and legislative record glitters.” Shannon for A.G. ….. For most of his career, Mr. Shannon, 38, has protected children from the despicable criminals...

Democrat Steve Shannon and Republican Ken Cuccinelli have been fighting for airtime on the campaign trail this fall and today they have the final debate of the campaign hosted by the Richmond Bar Association. The crowd is going to be primed up to see the attorney general candidates, and Shannon appears unsatisfied with simply reaching out to the interest lawyers in the room, opting...

The newspaper that Republicans quote time and time and time again has endorsed the Democratic ticket of Deeds/Wagner/Shannon. This endorsement of Steve Shannon, just like the other two, is a strong one – no “lesser of two evils” here. Back in 2007, The Washington Post didn’t bother endorsing Ken Cuccunelli’s opponent in his reelection to the [...]...

... tiny business in Europe. “For us, with aspirations in Europe, it made sense to do a wagon,” said Steve Shannon, the Cadillac marketing director. “It’s a relatively inexpensive vehicle to do once you have the sedan. And we think that over time there will be some European-ization of the U.S. market as vehicles get smaller, with smaller-displacement engines. A greater interest in wagons...

... Tigercomm President Mike Casey leads the operation. This year they handled communications for Steve Shannon for Attorney General. Also working on their clients this year were Shannon's New Media Director Adam Feiler and Brian Coy who handled traditional media. Why is Tigercomm deserving of praise? There was no candidate this year on our side who started out more unprepared...

Well, it's been a week since the election. Were candidates serious about their online campaigns? The best way to tell is to take a look at people who lost their elections to see if they disappeared after their loss or if they continued to engage their online supporters. We'll look at Creigh Deeds , Jody Wagner , Steve Shannon and the 8 Democratic members of the House of Delegates who...

... in protecting federalism and the rights of the states that are built into the Constitution. Steve Shannon, on the other hand, has stated that these foundational concepts of our Republic are outdated notions and apparently believes it is inappropriate to defend Virginia’s rights against the Federal Government in court. In my view, those comments should automatically disqualify...
