GOP takes on snow

Follow this link to one of the latest YouTube videos from the Republican Party of Virginia.

The clip, "12 Inches of Global Warming," targets Virginia Democratic congressmen Tom Perriello and Rick Boucher for votes they cast last summer on an energy bill the GOP claims would cost the state scores of jobs. Its underlying message is that all the recent winter precipitation shows global warming theories may be flawed.

Following the snow storm that visited much of Virginia in December, then Attorney General-elect Ken Cuccinelli struck a similar chord in an e-mail he sent to supporters about the winter weather and global warming.
