rince William Del. Bob Marshall (R) voted for Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) in the 2008 presidential primary.
We learned that from Marshall during this week's Virginia Tea Party Convention, where Marshall was visibly working the crowd, trying to harness its energy in support of an amendment to the Virginia Constitution that would prohibit legislators from embedding taxes or fees into the state budget.
Long an irritant to the GOP, Marshall seems intent on once again proving he has no interest in going along to get along with members of his party. And his vote for Paul, a hero to many who associate with the tea party movement, could help. (Paul was greeted with an enthusiasm eclipsed only by that shown for Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli at the weekend convention.)
As convention goers emerged from a panel featuring Cuccinelli and former Sen. George Allen (R) Saturday, they were greeted by Marshall just outside the exhibit hall, handing out glossy brochures emblazoned with the words, "We can win the fight against secret state taxes and fees!"
