Deeds has run statewide before, coming within a few hundred votes of the Republican Governor candidate Bob McDonnell in the 2005 AG race.
He is also perceived as the most moderate of the candidates, although his recent record is extremely liberal, and he is the most anti-gun of the three, which might help McDonnell.
He normally wouldn’t have the money advantage of the other two, but the Democrats are flush with cash since they got all the Federal stimulus money, while Republicans are losing their private sector non-bailout jobs.
I didnt know that. Am surprised it hasnt made him unelectable in his hood.
