This is funny

Look at the members of the Senate Rehabilitation and Social Services committee. Now look at the members of the Senate Local Government committee.

P.S.--- If you didn't start to fear a genuine Democratic (by which I mean they run with a "D" next to their name) takeover in the Senate after Herring's victory last week...

j.sarge's thought would explain why Cuccinelli is on both committees. The Republican Senate leadership want to marginalize him as much as possible.

Inside scoop is that Cuccinelli has been told by Senate leadership that he will never have a seat on a high profile committee as long as they are in charge and regardless of seniority.

Additionally, Newman is a puppet of the leadership in more ways that anyone knows.

Anon that may be true, but senority plays a huge role.
Cuccinelli is almost dead last in senority. That coupled with the leadership's disagreement with him would make sense why he has no high profile committee appointments.

P&E is the least sought after committee. Cuccinelli will NEVER get a spot on a high profile committee as long as the leadership stays like it is now, no matter how senior he gets. The leadership is also not very fond of Martin or Obenshain either, but Cuccinelli is public enemy #1 to the Republican leadership.
