The stupid segment. Somebody ought to bring up what happens when this Health Care fiasco passes, with its mandates and taxes on insurance and increased premiums. At the very least , they will stay home.
New Clarus poll ping.
the DNC dirty tricks team is working hard to find an October surprise ... would bet they will hint, then outright make up a scandal within 3 days of the election, if they have to.
Mr Deeds is a test case for obama’s grasp on power among blue state moderates, and Tim Kaine’s legacy
It appears that Virginians aren't buying what WaPo is selling, hard. I actually think that Sheila Johnson's endorsement helped McDonnell, and Wilder's non-endorsement of Deeds has hurt him.
I'm hoping that McDonnell doesn't take his foot off the gas. A ten-point win would really send a message to the Blue Dogs thinking about voting for this health care mess.
Keep up the good work, Barry.
* Deeds beats McDonnell 48-41 percent among voters 18-29.
* Among voters 65 and older, McDonnell beats Deeds by a wide 54-37 percent margin.
Two very interesting items because another poll shows the turn out among this group will drop off from 21% of total voters to just 8%. The contrast with the senior vote makes for a possible 60/40 beating for Deeds.
If I was advising Deeds, I owuld tell him to hold a press conference with past or present black Redskins players, and claim to support the banning of Rush Limbaugh to NFL ownership. Then call Rush a racist, and force McDonnell to make a stand on the Rush Limbaugh issue.
Two weeks for the dems to pull out all the stops and get uglier than you’ve even seen them before.
McDonnell’s team needs to be in full court press and go on the offensive hard, catch them off guard. Deeds needs to spend the next two weeks having to be on defense rather than be able to smear the last two weeks without having to deal with anything himself.
And where did we expect the black vote to go. Sad and they will get what they ask for.
McDonnell-Deeds debate tonight at Roanoke College.
