Points for the Week: CPAC, VCU, Friday the 13th and Bob McDonnell

So there's a lot to cover in this one. First off, tell your friends to come visit the page and vote in the poll above.

So CPAC will be taking place in DC next week and yours truly will be there, along with Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, Rush and more. I will be sure to take pictures and give you guys a report.

VCU basketball continues to roll on and took sole position of first place tonight after their win over Delaware. Senior Eric Maynor amassed 30 points and continued to show NBA scouts that he can play at the pro level. I can personally say that it has been a pleasure watching the guy play the last few years. He will be missed next year.

Everyone's favorite (including mine) man of the woods, Jason Voorhees returned to the big screen this past weekend with the reboot of Friday the 13th. The movie destroyed the competition, setting a horror movie record with over $45 million over the weekend. I have seen the movie twice already and recommend it to anyone looking for a straight foward, simple hour and a half of fun thrills and laughs. With all the bad news on TV everyday, it's nice to escape to something that is so great in its simplicity. Welcome back Jason!!

Lastly, Bob McDonnell continues to garner national news and support. More and more big name Republicans are rallying behind McDonnell and the national media cannot avoid it. The word is spreading. Something is definitely happening here. I can feel it. McDonnell seems to be transcending beyond partisan politics and reaching a broader base. It's still early but I like what I see so far.

I will post anything else that strikes me this week. Until then, take care.
