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.

If Obama is going to campaign for him then why would his minions slam Deeds for “not thaking their advise and embracing” Obama?

Because they know he's gonna get his fanny shellacked and they want to say "look, we tried to help and he turned us away."

Hee. Ol’ Mudcat’s gettin’ all wee-wee’d up because Obi-Wan Nairobi is trying to throw him and Dirty Deeds under the wheels of the Hopey-Changey Express.
