Many pre/post mortems have demonized Creigh Deeds, and rightfully so. His campaign was a comedy of errors nearly from start to finish and with the brief exception of two weeks in September, we never had a close race. While much has been said about his disastrous [...]

Try as they might, liberal pundits cannot explain away Bob McDonnell’s 18-point election victory over Creigh Deeds by saying that Virginia always elects governors who are not of the president’s party. That’s like saying Republicans [...]
More "whitewashing" from the DPVA? It sure seems that way. I'm hearing from reliable sources that Tim Kaine and Creigh Deeds will be coming to the DPVA's State Central Committee meeting on December 5 specifically in order to discourage any discussion about what happened in the recent election' [...] 
In a statement released by Harris Miller's Career College Association, it appears Brian Moran may have fudged on his resume. While Brian may have finished in third place in a three way race, losing to Creigh Deeds by 26 points, that hasn't stopped him from [...] 
How convenient that Sarah Palin will be in Roanoke Sunday. Maybe Creigh Deeds could stop by for a chat about political consultants.
Gov. Tim Kaine tells his side of the 2009 election story to the Washington Post.
I'm not quite sure what to make of this - honest feelings by Kaine, (very) clever political spin, or both?
I've been calling around for feedback from House of Delegates Democrats on their caucus retreat in Henrico County this weekend. A few interesting tidbits so far:
Virginia U.S. Rep. Jim Moran (D-8), who as recently as two weeks ago said that we needed to elect State Sen. Creigh Deeds to governor to protect us from the GOP’s “Taliban ticket”, has a challenger: Matthew Berry.
Moran, whose public service in the 111th [...]
One of the big stories that nobody is reporting on is how bad big labor did in this year's elections in Virginia. Its an issue that was brought up during the campaign, the sheer volume of contributions made to Creigh Deeds and other Democrats throughout the Commonwealth. Their prescence was everywhere last year. Organized [...]
A week after the Virginia Gubernatorial Election, one pollster has looked at the data and found that President Obama hurt Creigh Deeds in the Old Dominion:
Democrats and the press are on a self-delusional kick that Barack Obama had nothing to [...]
Rep. Glen Nye got spooked by what happened last Tuesday. There is no other way to explain why this amateur congressman voted against the health care rationing bill yesterday. Liberal blogs are claiming that Nye has finished the betrayal that Creigh Deeds started. The 2nd district came firing back [...]
This is like watching the baton passed from one runner to the final leg in a relay race as they battle [...]
Creigh Deeds liked the idea of opting out of Obama’s health care plan.
Glenn Nye didn’t want it to get even that far.
Nye announced today he’s a BIG no vote on Obama’s health care takeover, like he was on Obama’s budget and Obama’s cap and trade bills.
Is [...]
As if we need any more evidence that Creigh Deeds lost on Tuesday largely because he failed to appeal to "base" voters, a new poll provides it. Keep in mind that Creigh Deeds received 1.2 million fewer votes than Barack Obama did last year, while Bob McDonnell [...] 
As if exit polls indicating that Virginia voters did not vote based on their approval or disapproval of Barack Obama, combined with analysis like this, weren't enough to kill the idiotic "meme" that Creigh Deeds lost the Virginia governor's election "because of Barack Obama," how about this?
