her a lightning rod for General Assembly critics.
Implementing the nation's toughest statewide welfare reform which she helped
craft can only become a bad news story.
And she's an independent thinker, a little farther right than George Allen.
Maybe that's why Allen insiders are now backing Chesapeake Delegate Randy
Forbes for the chairmanship of the Republican party.
