R. Creigh Deeds

I never did trust people who use first initial and full middle name.

That would be huge. But if you think about it, it would be a masterful stroke on Daggett’s part. He could acknowledge that he may ensure that Corzine retains his post by pulling a disproportionate amount of votes from Christie and that is not what NJ needs so he is withdrawing and endorsing the GOP candidate.

I wouldn't read too much into it. Its basically voter fatigue with 12 years of the Democrats running the Virginia statehouse, an unpopular President and and an economy in recession. Its just your normal throw the other guy out vote. I don't think its an endorsement of the GOP.

The White House leaks about the VA race are meant to innoculate Obama from fallout with a Dem loss. The elected Dems will get the message from both places, but are trying to divert the public’s attention from a humiliating electoral outcome, even if they win in NJ. ‘94 wasn’t THAT long ago.

2-1 odds say Obambi backs out of next weeks appearance? OR the pictures of the two together will get the Conservative movement the opportunity to hang the loss around Obambi’s political neck all the way through the ‘10 election cycle? Either way Deeds is toast.

I simply don’t know where Daggett is coming from? If he is a mod or a Paulite, or what? I simply assume that he is siphoning votes from the Republican.

If I were Christie I would simply give the guy a cabinet level post and promise him a place at the table. This way Daggett could have some kind of say in manipulating policy, and probably for the better from what I hear of Christie.

Daggett has to know that if Corzine wins a second term that he will literally screw the tax-payers and property owners to the ground and that includes principled indie conservatives.

I was raised in Wildwood in Cape May COunty and went to school at Stockton College. I hate seeing the Democrats hurting the good, hard working people in New Jersey. It’s a damn shame.

“I never did trust people who use first initial and full middle name.”

That is especially true when their middle name happens to be something like “Creigh”!

I mean, what is up with that?? Does the “R” stand for Rasputin or Ratcliffe?

Daggett worked for RINO Governor Tom Keen many years ago.

In his 3rd party candidate refuses to bash Corzine. But he sure likes to bash Christie. Methinks Goldman Sachs (Crozine’s company) is paying Daggett to play spoiler.

Me too. If you don’t like that first name, just drop any reference to it. Simple as that.

HHH understood how confused MN people are — he just got them more confused so they would support him. But he looks pretty good in retrospect.

People in NJ can’t figure out who they are or what they need.

Good point, VA voters can never be counted on, as they showed so well in 2008.

I don’t see those 2009 elections getting much publicity at all unless they are Democrat upsets, and in that case they will be on the news the rest of the week.

FYI, there are two Virginias (and I don’t mean Virginia/West Virginia). Northern VA is a suburb of DC, a government employee mecca. It is where people from other places move to when they line up a government or government-related job. Unfortunately, recently it is where liberals who USED to move to Maryland are increasingly settling. It is the most populous part of the Commonwealth, and with the out of control growth of goverment will only get worse.

What “VA Voters .. showed so well in 2008” is that their vote can be diluted by aggressive ACORN enrollment of blue state students attending VA colleges and the immigrants from points north.
