Gary Nordlinger is the president of the political consulting firm Nordlinger and Associates. He joined Coy Barefoot on the September 25th edition of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now to discuss his career, the history of political consulting, and the somewhat negative perception many political observers have of people in his profession.
“Campaign consultants influence the ten to twelve percent of the voters that just don’t pay attention to politics,” says Nordlinger. “They want their information handily condensed, and that is what a political consultant does at least at my end of the business.”
Nordlinger also tells some stories from the campaign trail, and handicaps the 2008 Presidential election. He also gives advice on how to withstand the upcoming onslaught of political ads.

On the September 25th edition of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now, Bob Gibson of the Daily Progress made his weekly appearance on the show. The segment recaps Sunday’s Democratic fundraiser for Jim Webb with Stephen King and John Grisham. A caller asks why Virginians should care what a resident of Maine thinks about Virginia’s Senate race. Bob Gibson of the Daily Progress was at the event, and weighs in on what he thought of the event. Bob also talks about his recent article on Senator George Allen’s discovery of his Jewish heritage, as well as an article in Salon.com which alleges Allen frequently used racial slurs while at the University of Virginia.
On Sunday, September 24th, two best-selling authors were on stage at the Paramount Theater to raise money for Democratic Senatorial Candidate Jim Webb. Stephen King was invited by Albemarle County Resident John Grisham to speak to Democrats who paid a hefty fee to attend. CPN was there and now brings you an audio recording of the event for free. The master of ceremonies for the event is Governor Tim Kaine.
This podcast is a slightly edited version to reduce the file size. Applause length has been slightly trimmed, as well as some of Governor Kaine’s introductions at the beginning of the event. He also recognized the work of Delegate David Toscano and Senator Creigh Deeds.
The following is a rough run-down of when each speaker was at the microphone.
