Another article in the RTD:

Control of House [of Delegates] will come down to few races

*break*

For all the money raised and spent on both sides statewide, Farnsworth said, the result might be little change.

“I think it will be pretty close to a net of zero,” he said.

“The somewhat lackluster [R. Creigh] Deeds campaign [for governor] has really eliminated the thin possibility that Democrats could win a majority of seats in the House of Delegates this cycle.”

How long before Democratic candidates start deciding that it’s not in their best interest to appear on stage with Obama?

[HokieMom]

Hopefully, not until after the 2010 midterms.

No time for our soldiers and Generals, but fund raising in New Jersey and Virginia?

Heh heh. Keep it up, Obama. Did you see the Post editorial Sunday? Totally spoiled my sourdough french toast and eggs benedict. But then I figured that if the Post felt like it had to take up the entire editorial column to convince people to vote for Deeds, using Deeds' promise to raise taxes as a selling point, our guy was doing all right and was going to do even better.

With Obama stepping up to campaign for Deeds, it’ll be impossible to claim a Deeds defeat has not implications for Obama. I can’t see why he’s doing this outside of inability to accept his own vulnerability.

[HokieMom]

Priorities. He’s only the TOTUS.

Has Virginia gotten wise?

[HokieMom]

Had the Post done anything else but what they did by going over the top for Deeds, conservatives would be questioning McDonnell’s credentials. Thanks, WP!

Obama is just a pitch man. Doesn’t seem he spends much time working for us as a real President. He likes the power as a pitch man but is he qualified for the job?

[HokieMom]

Played with fire and got burned. Time to recover.

If I am Mac I pay odumbo to campaign for deeds

[republicangel]

I was worried about turnout if McDonnell was way up in the polls. Thanks Obama, you will get the vote out- for the Republicans!!

[HokieMom]

So true. Good point.

Democrats and RINOs need to be handed some dramatic losses.
