R. Creigh Deeds, the Democratic candidate for Virginia governor, seems poised to lose the jewel in President Obama's political crown.
In November 2008, Obama was the first Democrat since Lyndon Johnson to win the electoral votes of the Commonwealth. Obama's victory was a case study in how he might transform American politics, building an alliance of new voters and suburban Southerners to defeat Republicans at the heart of their power.
A year later, the Virginia governor's race displays a Democratic promise gone crusty and stale. The Republican candidate, Bob McDonnell, threatens to turn a lead into a rout. Democratic leaders, getting a head start on recrimination, fault Deeds' political skills, but mainly his tirelessly negative campaign. While McDonnell has talked of jobs and roads, Deeds has spent millions on ads warning of the Talibanization of Virginia by Mullah McDonnell, who was accused of opposing birth control, women in the workplace and breast cancer screening.

In 1994, Indies had a “temper tantrum”(so described by peter Jennings) against Clinton. In 2008, Indies had a temper tantrum against Bush. The pendulum swings back and forth and the truth lies somewhere in the middle-hopefully closer to the right than to the left.

Rush talked about the Obama ads, supposedly for Deeds, that were all about Obama.
I heard an excerpt on Rush’s show of the rally Obama went to in support of Deeds. Just damn! That was the most condescending insulting speech I’ve ever heard. What a jackass! Why anyone would want that narcissist to “support” their election is beyond me.
Obama is a narcissist
