Wilder on Deeds: That’s not ‘leadership’: Refuses to endorse fellow Virginia Democrat
Spurning pleas from the president and the leader of his party, former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder refused to endorse Democrat R. Creigh Deeds for Virginia governor, taking issue with the candidate’s willingness to raise taxes in a weak economy.
“That doesn’t show leadership and responsibility to me,” Mr. Wilder told The Washington Times on Thursday after he announced that he would not endorse either Mr. Deeds or Republican candidate Robert F. McDonnell.
Mr. Wilder objected to statements by Mr. Deeds indicating that he would not rule out new taxes if they were part of a bipartisan bill that contained a dedicated funding mechanism for transportation.
“We are in the toughest economic times that we’ve had. I think the most driving thing to do now is to be a part of fiscal sanity and restoring accountability,” Mr. Wilder said in a telephone interview.

..had Wilder endorsed Deeds it would have been a GONNER (for our side).
Wilder decides whether the Black inner-city voters go to the polls, or not.
If he sticks with his position, he “has stuck a fork” in Deeds and Deeds is DONE!
Then again, Wilder always likes to play to the last card for his own amusement in the role as the “Kingmaker”.
Not anymore.
