Description | Former six-term member of Congress Virgil Goode has traveled a vast political distance. He has been a Democrat, an Independent, a Republican and is currently a member of the National Committee of the Constitution Party from Virginia, and may be positioning himself for a run for president.
In 2009, then still a Republican, he openly flirted with the Constitution Party, addressing a meeting of the party's National Committee. I wrote at the time that Goode might be following in the footsteps of Alan Keyes who repeatedly addressed the party's national committee before running a marginal campaign for the GOP nomination in 2008; bolting the GOP; and then losing the Constitution Party nomination to Florida megachurch pastor and radio commentator Chuck Baldwin, the party's 2004 VP candidate.
Goode is on the agenda for the upcoming meeting Constitution Party National Committee, April 29 and 30, 2011 in Harrisburg, PA.
