On this podcast edition of “The Score” radio show…

Scott Lee talks with Sen. Ryan McDougle, chairman of the Republican caucus, about what the GOP intends to do now that it has an operational majority in the General Assembly’s upper chamber — assuming the Democratic leadership’s threatened lawsuit doesn’t scuttle the deal. Who will take over the key committees? Will there be peace, or acrimony? Scott and the Senator from Hanover lay it all out.

And while Republicans are ensconced at their retreat (or “Advance,” if you prefer) at the posh Homestead Resort, including would-be Senate nominee George Allen, other Senate contenders have taken a pass. That includes Scott’s other show guest, Jamie Radtke. Scott and Jamie discuss the coming AP debate, which has excluded all but Allen and Democrat Tim Kaine from the stage, the state of the race, the issues and a lot more.

Of note: Radtke tells us that the AP debate is not only closed to the public, but will not be recorded — at least for now — and with the agreement of the two participant candidates. This makes an already bad situation much, much worse.

“The Score” is Bearing Drift radio, and can be heard on these broadcast stations and online talk networks.
