Gore coming to Va. for Deeds
Politico ^ | 10/14/09 | Mike Allen

Posted on 10/14/2009 9:21:01 AM PDT by freespirited

Former Vice President Al Gore will be coming to Virginia on Friday to give a last-minute boost to the Democratic candidate for governor, Creigh Deeds, a party source said.

Gore will headline a private fundraiser in McLean at the home of longtime Democratic supporters Al and Claire Dwoskin.

The visit will provide positive publicity for Deeds in the days before the Nov. 3 election, when Deeds will face Bob McDonnell, the Republican nominee.

I bet Slimeball Deeds’ poll numbers tank when Algore shows up.

If Gore is POSITIVE publicity for Deeds, he will surely lose.

Don't count on it ... make damn sure you and all your friends get out and vote for McDonnell.

I don't want Deeds to lose the election.

I want to see him electorally stomped into the ground ... buried in a landslide of McD votes ... utterly rejected, humiliated, and disgraced.

Well, there’s something a struggling politician really needs to energize his campaign - a visit from a piece of petrified wood who generates as much excitement as a clump of dirt.

The only group Gore appeals to in Virginia are the extreme left. The left who is voting for Deeds because of the (D) next to his name. Gore the greenhouse gasbag won’t win over independents in Virginia. And Deeds needs independents.

AccuWeather's long-range forcaster Bastardi is predicting that the core of winter this year will be from D.C. to Charlotte, with much heavier than usual snow and cold:

Maybe it'll start in time to freeze Gore and Deeds out. Here's hoping for the Gore Effect!

You know if Gore doesn’t do it for Deeds there is always Carter and Clinton he could call on. I am sure they would help his cause.

Creigh Deeds is toast.

I think so too. I think at this point even Deeds knows that and just wants this to be over with.

But, let's not get overconfident. Do anything and everything you can to turn out GOP voters. We're likely to make significant gains in the House of Delegates. And if the winds blow our way, it could be of epic proportions.

“Gore coming to Va. for Deeds”

So.... they’re saying Deeds is going to fall even FURTHER in the polls and that he’ll be completely blown-out on election day?

I’m not so sure. Former Virginia democrat Governor Douglas Wilder won’t even help Deeds.

You’re probably right, maybe even a little conservative. Who’s going to get out into the cold to vote for a stiff like Creigh Deeds, even if they “lean” towards him?

Ditto that!

Despite the state-controlled media spin, this election IS a referendum on Governor Gridlock, aka the DNC chair, and the One. I want McDonnell to crush Deeds, and by extension, Kaine and Obama.

Well, I was planning to vote for McDonnell, but now that Al Gore is coming to VA for Deeds, I may have to change my mind. That’s a series deal breaker.

He thinks Gore will help him? Deeds really is out of contact with reality.

“The visit will provide positive publicity for Deeds “

And the temperature won’t get above 47 degrees the whole day (snicker).

Take that Gore, you insufferable windbag.

But, let's not get overconfident.

Definitely. I was phone banking for McDonnell with the NRA-ILA yesterday evening. The majority of people who answered were McDonnell supporters, but there were several who said they would be voting for Deeds. That's from a list that should have been pretty solid for McDonnell.

McDonnell should win it, but the margin isn't big enough to slack off and coast.

True.

Gore coming for Deeds? Guess he has run out of important people to speak for him.

Actually, Gore is coming here because Deeds is pushing out all that HOT AIR...and Gore is troubled about Virginia's climate getting too warm. So he wants to tell Deeds to "cool it." LOL
