Let’s be clear. Deeds is no “moderate.” And it’s time we stopped reading from the ‘rat playbook.
He’s as “moderate” as Tim Kaine and claims to be in that mold.
He changed his position on guns, he’s voted against stopping partial birth abortion, and he changed his position on gay marriage.
That’s a moderate California Democrat. A Marxist rodent as opposed to the more liberal Stalinist rodent (or moderate in that he has yet to commit a serious crime in office, which one has to in order to make their bones as a full fledged leftist). In any event, thank you for setting the record straight on Deeds.
The last minute high turnout favored the conservative Deeds in an extremely low turnout scenario. That would be less true in a general when more dummies show up. Again it would depend on turnout, a rainy day and McD beats McA. A gorgeous day with lots of Acorn "volunteers" and McA would win.
You are right that McD has a harder fight now, but you are wrong that he would automatically have beaten McA.
