It will be interesting and quite entertaining to see the mental and physical contortions the Left will go through in order to explain why their losses in the next month’s election isn’t really Obama’s (or their) fault.

“Dirty Deeds, done dirt cheap” - That’s offered up on a silver platter.

This is from the Washington Pest.

Don't trust those sneaky bastards, and don't get cocky.

Keep pounding ... get all your friend out to vote for McD.

I don't want to see "Dirty" Deeds lose this election.

I want to see him trounced. Stomped. Rejected, repudiated, and disgraced. Buried in a landslide of McDonnell votes.

The whole country needs to see what happens when a good GOP candidate runs a strong, positive campaign. And it needs to be spectacular.

The Republican, briefly buffeted in the polls by voters' initial reaction to the publication of his 1989 graduate school thesis, has rebounded to big advantages on the top issues, particularly taxes, and is now seen as the more effective leader, more honest and more empathetic.

Gotta love the wapo..not really..

Too bad McDonnell is a RINO. He has had word of praise for 0bama in the past.

“The results also suggest that Deeds, a moderate who has alternately praised and distanced himself from Obama, has neither energized the president’s most fervent supporters nor won over his skeptics.”

Pull quote. Moderates lose, period.

“Too bad McDonnell is a RINO. He has had word of praise for 0bama in the past.”

I disagree about the RINO charge. He’s not a Limbaugh, but he’s no mushy middle of the roader, either.

I’m hoping that McDonnell has coat-tails going further down the ticket.

The GOP needs to pick up a few seats in the House of Delegates.

I know. Maybe there will be a miracle. I don’t think the Independent will be of any help though.
