Additionally, was this before or after McDonnell blathered about man-made global warming and flirted with cap-and-trade? That completely ended my McDonnell support and was yet another step out of the GOP's door for me. What is with the GOP?
As for Deeds and Obama - did anybody else receive Deeds' latest mailing (I assume it was a Fairfax/Arlington/Richmond/Norfolk-only mailing) that read, "Help President Obama. Elect Deeds." It was amusing and I suppose I should have scanned it and posted it here for public pillorying before I shredded it and composted it with the other horse manure.
Bob’s anti-cap and trade policies ad

then click on MeadWestvaco for the ad at the top of the column on the right side of screen.
I have to wonder just how much you supported Bob to begin with if you can toss your “support” altogether over something he says 2 weeks before election day.
Where do you get your talking points from? DU?
Oh come now.
Welcome to Free Republic.
“Help President Obama. Elect Deeds.” It was amusing and I suppose I should have scanned it and posted it here for public pillorying before I shredded it and composted it with the other horse manure.

We know the dim bulbs don’t hear us...but is the GOP still not listening? They’re going to get a rude awakening in PA, NY and other places as Conservatives start winning elections.
We can’t afford to wait for the GOP to figure itself out. The time to act is now; the time to wait has passed.
Your comments on Global Warming seem ever-so-close to the marching order DEMs gave out over the weekend to try to sell Republicans that McD is all for Global Warming and Cap and Trade. My cousin has infiltrated the VA democratic party and is now on all the right lists.
Their strategy for the next two weeks is the same one Obama used - try to beat down the turnout by showing the race isn’t even close, and keeping conservatives away by painting McDonnell as not a “real” conservative.
I believe you joining FR comes awful close to the timing of Justice setting up it’s opposition bloggers. Is that you Eric? One of your lackeys?
Virginians... go vote if for no other reason than to give Obama a symbolic smack in the keyster.
He did not "blather" about anything. AFAIK never said "man-made" global warming, but said "some scientists say the planet is warming."
And his opposition to cap and trade has been clear throughout the campaign.
If you're that misinformed, I seriously doubt you ever planned to support him anyway.
“About that poll... I’d say it’s an outlier, too”
Survey USA was the most accurate polling company in Virginia in 2008. Their final poll had it Obama 50 / McCain 46. The actual results were Obama 52 / McCain 46.
In 1993, George Allen won 58 - 41, so a 59 - 40 figure is not unheard of. And Bob McDonnell is just as good a candidate if not better than Allen was in ‘93.
Giving up on McDonnell two weeks before the election, eh?
All because the WaPo quoted him as saying he thought maybe the earth was warm,ing but that if it was, he didn’t think it was caused by man?
That is TRULY amazing (and not in agood way).
McDonnell has explicitly said he does NOT support cap and tax, and he has also said he doesn’t support the idea that climate change is man-made.
