Dunno. I thought maybe it was the name of the team in Toledo, but I was wrong.

Democrat blasts White House for anonymous sniping Posted: October 23rd, 2009 03:46 PM ET
From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby
The president last campaigned for Deeds in August. WASHINGTON (CNN) – A well-known Democratic strategist in Virginia is blasting the White House for placing anonymous quotes in the Washington Post in a pre-emptive effort to blame Creigh Deeds for what might be a loss in the state's upcoming gubernatorial election.
David "Mudcat" Saunders, who gained political fame helping Democrat Mark Warner reach out to rural voters during Warner's successful 2001 gubernatorial bid, told CNN Friday that trying to blame Deeds is "bulls**t" when Democrats around the country are "just tired of politics."
"The Democrats right now are a real bruised brand right now where I am," Saunders said in a phone interview from his home near Roanoke. "There was so much energy put into last year's race, everybody's just burned out. You can't get anybody fired up."
In a story published Friday, a senior administration official told the Post that the Deeds campaign ignored their advice to embrace the president, which the official claimed would have boosted the Democratic candidate's lackluster support among the African-Americans and young voters who supported Obama in 2008.

Deeds under the bus already-LOL.
Don’t you love it when they eat their own.
Join the club Deeds: Van Jones, Wright, Obama’s granny, etc.
Popcorn Please!!!
What a petty administration, cheap, no imagination.
everything they do is scripted.
They are sitting around waiting on the checks to roll in before getting fired up again.
“Mudcat?”
Didn’t he pitch for Cleveland?
Deeds is a racist for losing and tarnishing Fauxbama’s image.
Someone should do a photoshop of the famous scene from I think Casino with the baseball bat.
But Deeds chose Clinton and Terry McCauliffe to campaign for him, instead. I bet he is pissed because Deeds chose Clinton over him. Payback.
Obama may help him in NOVA, but the rest of the state is experiencing Obama fatigue like the “Mudcat” pointed out.

Dunno. I thought maybe it was the name of the team in Toledo, but I was wrong.
“Enthusiasms!”
Jim “Mudcat” Grant was a pitcher for the Indians. Fairly early black player in the major leagues. H was one of my heros back when I was in Little League.
“James Timothy “Mudcat” Grant (born August 13, 1935 in Land O’ Lakes, Florida) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Cleveland Indians (1958-64), Minnesota Twins (1964-67), Los Angeles Dodgers (1968), Montreal Expos (1969), St. Louis Cardinals (1969), Oakland Athletics (1970 and 1971) and Pittsburgh Pirates (1970-71).
He helped the Twins win the 1965 American League Pennant, the Pirates win the 1970 National League Eastern Division and 1971 World Series and the Athletics win the 1971 American League Western Division.”
If Obama is going to campaign for him then why would his minions slam Deeds for “not thaking their advise and embracing” Obama? What’s up with that? Did he cave in after this story yesterday?
