No, uh-oh. Just, it’s not going to be easy...
I suspect there are 2 factors in the 78%. The MSM is trying to portray Deeds as a moderate, when the truth is he got the Post endorsement because he’s the most to the left, and biggest tax hiker of the three. Deeds also claimed to be the “most progressive” in the race.
I would say the other factor is the negative press that the GOP got over the whole chairmanship mess.
BUT, this is early. No one’s really watching. This is just a signal that we can take nothing for granted.
Also look out for some trolls to show up to claim the Deeds is a “Blue Dog”...
Taxes, jobs and the economy are the biggest issues in this race, and according to this poll those issues should favor McDonnell.
