I wonder how his staff is going to cover for a sweep of statehouse offices by the Republicans, gains in the Virginia legislature, a win in NJ and the win by a Conservative party candidate in a NY congressional race?

Well, I can dream can’t I?

And this now shows a strategy I speculated about a couple of days ago.

Obama waits until Deeds is already hopeless, or at least to where his poll numbers are so bad that a visit by Obama couldn’t be blamed for the poor poll numbers.

Then, Obama comes to “help”, but only to one black college.

No doubt, kids in that black college will be “helped” to go out and vote, and so whatever precincts they are in will show a marked improvement for Deeds. Not anywhere near enough to be any help whatsover, of course.

And because Obama ONLY appears there, there’s little chance of a backlash that will be measurable against an Obama visit, like there would be if he stumped around for Deeds.

So after the election, the “results” will “verify” what the White House says in this memo: That Deeds waited TOO LONG to invite Obama in. “See, you invited him, but it was so late Obama could only do one event — and that event increased turnout for Deeds by 20%. If only Deeds had embraced Obama earlier, and gotten that same 20% throughout the state. THis isn’t Obama’s fault, it’s Deeds for rejecting the Obama message”.

Couple that with the possible Owens win in NY-23, where Obama is campaigning (because all Owens needs there is to peal a few liberal votes from the republican to win a 3-way race), and the possibility of corzine winning (which Obama will say is because Obama just appeared there for him, again since Corzine only needs the democrats to vote for him, as the independents are going to the crazy guy, Daggett).

Obama, with the help of the left-wing party official media outlets, might well get to spin this november election as a validation of his policies.

Senior administration officials have expressed frustration with how Democrat R. Creigh Deeds has handled his campaign for governor, refusing early offers of strategic advice and failing to reach out to several key constituencies that helped Obama win Virginia in 2008, they say.

That's strange... I could have sworn that Deeds had the "gullible idiot" vote all but locked up...

Maybe we'll see a "get out the gullible idiot vote" push in the final days of the campaign...

Gonna be hard for ACORN to make up that difference.

Thank goodness VA has come to its senses. Wish NJ would do likewise, but don’t have much hope of that happening.

Watch Deeds get thrown under the bus soon (”terrible candidate, wouldn’t listen to our coaching, no reflection on Obama, blah, blah”). May even be an article to that effect this week. If so, it will be proof they know the election is McDonnell’s.

Deeds is toast, perhaps by double digits. Obama is narcisistically trying to frame the election as “Deeds didn’t follow MY advice”.....because, of course, if he embraced Obama, he would have won in a walk (yeah, right).

Really, though, this bodes well for Virginia. I never want to count chickens, but it looks like a GOP sweep, with gains in the gen assembly as well......I’m hoping McDonnell can reach double digits.

Deeds should probably have tried to make some headway with Bob’s college thesis.

(snicker, snicker......)

Only the Left could embrace this "logic". If they lose in VA, it the locals fault, when they win in NJ, it will be "A vindication of Dear Reader's leadership"

Now if Hoffman can just pull out a win in NY23, the DC Political/Media machine will explode trying to spin all three events for Dear Reader.
