Via Greg L. at BVBL, it looks as if the "For Lease" signs are already up in what is/was the Deeds campaign offices in Prince William County:

UPDATE: The WashPo's Monday Labor Day edition does little to dispel the notion that Deeds is pulling out of PWC, citing his struggle "against anonymity in Northern Virginia" which has led him to a strategy of shoring up what should be his natural constituency in small towns.
The amount of time Deeds spends in rural Virginia has also worried some Northern Virginia supporters, who say it would be a mistake to assume that their vote-rich region will fall in line behind him simply because he is a Democrat.Then comes the quote, from Deeds himself, that lends credence to the speculation that Deeds is shutting down operations in Virginia's second largest county:
Deeds notes that he spends about half his time "north of the Occoquan River"Given that Prince William County is south of the Occoquan, that is a pretty telling sign right there that Deeds is now husbanding resources and starting to write-off whole counties.
Would find that hard to believe. I hope so!
Could be less than critical Acorn mass. You need to go where the vote are (manufactured).
Isn’t he going to win PWC handily? Isn’t he just putting resources towards areas he needs to beat the Thesis Writer?

So much for the Post’s macacca-thesis.
For those who don’t already know, the good guys in the Virginia race (Republican slate):

http://www.billbolling.com/ for Lieutenant Governor
http://www.cuccinelli.com/ for Attorney General
Prince William County is swing-vote territory.
If PWC is a swing-vote area then Deeds is stupid to pull out, I assumed it was a Dem stronghold
No, 4 years ago, McDonnell crushed Deeds in PWC by 2936 votes. McDonnell received more votes in 2005 in PWC than any other GOP statewide candidate AND got more votes in PWC than Tim Kaine and the other 2 statewide Dem candidates. Sounds more like Deeds is giving up on a lost cause.
Wow. Now thats a story.
Did PWC vote for Obama?
Those Ci-cago boys really know how to operate in those Virginia small towns where the folks are still clinging to God and their guns. Let us hope they send in the One. That’ll do it. Or maybe Governor Dean. He’ll really go over.
In PWC (Dale City). Ready to rumble.
It does contain Quantico. We’re sure the One is so popular around that part and he will just have terrific coattails.
Glad to hear it!
Yes, PWC voted for Obama in 2008 and Kaine in 2005.
I like your stats that McDonnell won Prince William before. Very encouraging that Deeds pulled out on the first weekend of the real election season.
One for your ping list.
What do you think about this? Do you really think he’s abandoning Prince William?
Deeds natural constituence isn’t small towns (that would be McDonnell), his should be liberal No V.A. Glad to hear McDonnell is doing well..! (I lived through the Kilgore campaign while at Liberty University)!
He doesn't need a campaign office when he has union thugs working for him in the dark of night!
He doesn't need a campaign office when the Republican "leadership" is desparately searching for a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
