A friend of mine told me this over the phone the other day, but now I notice Trail Mix is reporting that Vernon Robinson is back on the campaign trail, “working as a senior adviser to two statewide Republican candidates this year: Jim Snyder, a Lexington lawyer running for lieutenant governor; and Eric Smith, a Reidsville farmer running for superintendent of public instruction.”

I saw Robinson in person for the first time during the September JLF blog conference in Raleigh. I had no idea he was such a big guy.
