Compost CYA poll imo. With SUSA and Ras showing almost double digit leads for McDonnell, I think they're trying to get their poll in line. Seems like a done deal but anything can happen of course.

Deeds campaign (with the Post’s help) is to paint mcDonnell as a right wing crazy who is against women. It’s not working and Deeds has given no reason to vote for him. Jim Moran is giving him public advice to change course, look to me that Deeds is toast. If the president will just campaign for Deeds that would seal it for McDonnell :)

There are several bright spots:

We are still winning (barely) in NJ.

We are winning our Senate races in NV (against Reid) and CT (against Dodd). We are also winning in DE (against Bidens son). We are ahead, by a lot, in Ark, we are holding NH and OH and FLA, we CAN win NY with the right candidate...

Maybe I am too optimistic, but this is looking good

Slowly, bit by bit, with patience. Attention spans are sometimes a problem in politics. :’)

Deed’s been rolling out Mark Warner in recent ads.

Funny how Deeds ignores the Obamunist, and the Obamunist couldn’t know Creigh Deeds less if he ran the Afghan War for him.
