PWC GOP Labor Day Picnic Keynote Speaker Snubs Stewart, Endorses Lingamfelter For LG In Speech
My family and I attended the Prince William County Republican Committee’s Labor Day Picnic earlier today. This is the first time that the event has been held in several years and judging by the turnout, there was pent up demand for it. This was a regular event for a number of years before it sputtered out. Even comparing this year’s event against some of the big ones from a decade or so ago, this one stands out among the best and most well-attended. In fact, the event at the Electric Palm restaurant along the Occoquan River has been sold out for several days now and the parking lot was jammed early on with numerous cars sporting Romney and Allen bumper stickers. Special thanks goes to the Republican women’s clubs of PWC for organizing such a great event!
Gainesville Dist. Supervisor Pete Candland led those in attendance in the Pledge of Allegiance. Several other elected officials were present and recognized by GOP Cmte. Chairman Bill Card including Congressmen Rob Wittman and Frank Wolf, 11th Dist. congressional candidate Chris Perkins, and Dels. Rich Anderson, David Ramadan, and Jackson Miller. Miller was bringing around Del. Rob Bell, a candidate for Attorney General next year, and introducing him to the PWC party faithful.
Apparently, Supervisor Maureen Caddigan was squirreled away in a corner someplace while Supervisor Marty Nohe and his family showed up after the speakers program had concluded — neither was recognized from the podium. This is at least the second time in recent months that this pair has shown up at a GOP event after they have been notably absent for the past several years from virtually every party function. Speculation is rampant that both are trying to get whatever political cover they can get from the avalanche of bad publicity that is plaguing them and other members of the BOCS. Nohe, Supervisor Wally Covington, and Chairman Corey Stewart were all listed as sponsors of the event, although I did not see Covington (but I did run in to future Brentsville Supervisor Jeanine Lawson) and of course Chairman Stewart is currently in China. Apparently, Caddigan didn’t pony up the money for a sponsorship because she is saving her campaign stash to pay her husband’s sizable salary as her campaign treasurer.
It is just as well that Corey is on the other side of the planet as the keynote speaker at the picnic, WMAL’s Chris Plante, repeatedly sang the praises of Del. Scott Lingamfelter during his speech and expounded upon why we need to elect Lingamfelter as our next Lt. Governor. I suppose the only thing more embarrassing for Stewart than that would have to been in the audience listening to Plante do this. Lingamfelter himself was unable to attend as he was at an event being held at his alma mater of VMI, but his campaign staff were quite pleased by the unexpected turn of events.
WMAL’s Chris Plante
Candland appeared to be one of the more sought after elected officials at the event as he was stopped by event attendees at nearly every step. The same could not be said for the other BOCS members in attendance, who, if they were Amish, one would think were being shunned.
Overall, the energy level among PWC GOPers was very high and that all portends well for this November. There was an unmistakable feeling in the air that we were going to turn PWC back around at the presidential level, carrying the county for the Romney-Ryan ticket as well as for George Allen in the Senate race. This was a large group of people who are strongly dedicated to making that happen.

Your obsession with Ms Caddigan continues, Maybe some counseling is in order for you. After you post nasty comments about Ms.Caddigan do you have to go change your boxers? Does it make you feel real manly to go after a well respected female government official???? Most men I know don’t get their jollies going after women on blogs.
Do you enjoy raising your pom poms all the time for Mister Candland????
My obsession is with good government. I can’t help it that Supervisor Caddigan has used her office for personal gain and enrichment and that her dirty deeds are now coming to light. What is your obsession with covering up such digraceful conduct? And what does her gender have to do with anything? Women can be just as ethically challenged as male politicians.
By the way, I see you are writing us from the Rocky Mount, NC area according to your IP address. I seem to recall that she has family in NC… (VPAP confirms this via a donation from a Michelle Caddigan of NC.) Is mommy having her kids defend her now? Some “respected female government official.”
Busted.
Riley,
You are no F. Lee Bailey that is for sure! You are clueless like Joe Biden. You can’t even figure out what State the comments are coming from. Hopefully, you are not practicing law because you have no ability to gather evidence and dispense the truth.
Riley you are also a hypocrite. During the Republican Primary you were telling folks not to vote for Mitt Romney, but rather to write-in Ron Paul. After Romney won the primary, you are delusional that politicians like Romney would be seeking your advice.
If you dislike Maureen Caddigan so much, why didn’t you run against her when you had the chance? Your excuse that you had scheduling conflicts was a weak excuse because you knew that Mrs. Caddigan would wipe the floor with you.
Also, what ever happened with your recall campaign against Mrs. Caddigan and others? No takers to your plan. Your imaginary supporters would not support your plan????? Big Talk-No Action. What are you joined at the hip by that neophyte, Candland?
Mrs. Caddigan is too well liked, a great County Supervisor, and a committed public servant. No matter what you say, you cannot destroy her great reputation.
All I know is what IP addresses say and those don’t lie. Sorry, you’re busted.
Also, I never told anyone to write in a candidate in Virginia since Virginia primaries do not allow write-ins. (Sorry that your mommy is giving you bad information.) I was telling people to cast blank ballots in protest if their preferred candidate was not on the ballot. Besides, Ron Paul was the only other candidate on the ballot, so why would I be telling people to write him in if he was already on it? And I don’t expect Romney to seek my advice. Where did you ever get that whacked out idea?
As for the recall trial, I am not about to engage in anything to distract Virginians from the task at hand in electing the Romney/Ryan ticket and George Allen. There is plenty of time later for things like that. It wasn’t my idea in the first place, but I do support it and I’m not about to give away any of the surprises that others have in store.
I don’t have to destroy Caddigan’s reputation and I’m not seeking to do that. She is doing that to herself. I was one of her most loyal supporters for a long time — I opened my home to her for meet and greets, stood at the polls the entire day for her on more than one occasion, granted her access to the residents of my HOA. Many people warned me that she was a snake, but I didn’t listen. When I finally saw her true colors, that was the end of it for me.
Having a child under the age of 2 isn’t a weak excuse nor was having major legislation before Congress that my job required me to address. If you think that is weak, then your priorities are pretty messed up.
Wow. I’ve never attended a picnic of this kind. But it may be an interesting experience. As for my Labor Day, I spent it as usual with my family and we went to our favorite High Park in Toronto far from the political turmoil we live in every day.
It was a great event, Amy. I’m hoping that this year’s success leads to this becoming a mainstay once again.
