Uh oh, looking for centrists who can win:
A group of Virginia Republicans, stung by the loss of the governorship after voters this month rejected Attorney General and Tea Party leader Ken Cuccinelli, are readying what would be one of the toughest intra-party revolts yet against the anti-tax movement.

Would you add some description to that Gadsden Flag photo so no new guys get tripped up thinking JeanMarie and Tom represent those ideals. Folks who've been paying attention the last 7-8 years will know, but not necessarily newer readers.
