It’s get out the vote time.
Virginia pingage-worthy?
Heard the commercial Obama put out for Deeds where all he talks about is himself...I couldn’t believe it, Obama and Michelle did the same thing to promote Chicago’s effort getting the Olympic games.
Any reason why those sites you posted didn’;t come out as links ?

Republicans see an opportunity to grab more seats in Virginia House
By Amy Gardner

For much of this decade, Virginia Democrats have wondered every two years not whether they would increase their numbers in the House of Delegates but by how many seats.
Many Democrats hoped this could be the year that they finally won the six seats they need to take over the body, but amid a struggling economy, concern over federal policies and a governor’s race in which Republican Robert F. McDonnell is favored to win, it is the GOP that now sees a chance to strengthen its numbers.
All 100 seats in the House of Delegates are up for election this year. And although most eyes are on McDonnell’s battle against Democrat R. Creigh Deeds, the stakes are enormous in the battle for control of the House, where lawmakers will determine what solution, if any, emerges to solve Virginia’s expanding transportation crisis.

Bristol Herald Courier endorses Bob McDonnell for Virginia governor
By Bristol Herald Courier Editorial Board
Published: October 25, 2009
Virginia has two chief problems – higher than acceptable unemployment and transportation needs across the commonwealth. We believe Republican Robert F. McDonnell has outlined the most robust plans to address both as governor of Virginia. McDonnell’s transportation plan includes 12 measures – from privatizing ABC stores to adding tolls to issuing bonds – with the money going directly to transportation.
Democrat R. Creigh Deeds proposes a bipartisan commission to study the problems, if he is elected. It’s an inclusive step, but one that seems slow in a state with enormous and mounting transportation needs.
Everything McDonnell is pitching might not work, but he has done more to offer specific solutions during this race. We also like McDonnell’s jobs plan and his understanding that rural parts of Virginia need special attention to draw new business.
As a native of Northern Virginia who later lived in and represented Virginia Beach in the House of Delegates, McDonnell understands the business needs of Virginia’s larger cities. He has been endorsed by every major business organization in the state, including the Chamber of Commerce, the Federation for Independent Business and the Virginia Realtors.
But what about Southside and Southwest Virginia, regions that are more geographically isolated and have historically lagged behind the more populous and prosperous areas? During an editorial board meeting Thursday, McDonnell said he would appoint a full-time deputy secretary of commerce and trade to address business needs, that he or his lieutenant governor would visit those regions and others like them every 30 days, and that those regions would be given preferential treatment for state contracting.
All of those efforts are needed to give those regions an economic boost.
The Roanoke Times is having a Democrat love-in. They are desperate to see their party do something.
