Out of town at a conference — I’ll check the figures again when I get home. It always struck me that if Bob Marshall got anything other than a zero from EV, he would demand a recount.

You list Delegate Bob Marshall as having a relatively respectable 29% Equality Virginia ranking. This is an easy mistake given that Delegate DANNY Marshall (of Danville) earned that score.

Delegate Bob Marshall, as one would expect, has a 0% Equality Virginia score. And I suspect that number is unlikely to go up any time soon.

Of course, it’s always been amazing to me that in a legislature of 100 you have two Wares (1 D, 1 R), two Marshalls (2 Rs), two Howells (1 D, 1 R), two Joneses (1 D, 1 R), and two Scotts (1 D, 1 R).

Let the record state that Kristen and I (and Katie) will suffer through consuming his portion. For America. Er, Virginia. :)

When a Member is first elected, the Clerk of the House assigns him/her an office out of those that are available. Subsequently, after every regular election, Members can ask for a new office on the basis of seniority. The offices on the front of the floor, featuring a view of the Capitol, are thought to be premium space: so on 7-West they’re occupied by Phil Hamilton (1988), Dwight Jones (1994), Jack Reid (1990), and Bob Marshall (1992). Personally, I like the view out the back, overlooking the Library of Virginia and John Marshall’s house.

You’ve got my delegate in the “group of 14″ along with some others from around the state that I know. Quick question: how are offices assigned? It seems such mismash of people in that area.

Just Wondering…How does Bob Marshall get a 22% from Equality Virginia?
