Maybe that's what we'll get from Deeds' loss ~ if so, it's a good thing!

| 4. Running away from Obama |
|
will result in a loss. Remember Obama got progressives, minority, youth, independents and middle of the road repubs.
When you have black folks stating that they were anti-deeds, because deeds was anti-Obama you have a problem.

|
And McDonnell didn't embrace the Teabagging crazies during the campaign
Perhaps now he can take off the mask and embrace them now that he's pretty much won VA :puke:

hopefully by that time, dems, youth, independents and moderate repubs will realize what the hell they did (by not voting)and make sure it doesn't happen again.
