and virginia goes red
At the risk of jinxing Creigh Deeds, Bob McDonnell is going to win the Virginia Governor’s race. And whose fault is this? That’s right, Creigh Deeds.
Marc Ambinder has a great run-down of the Deeds Campaign’s missteps, including their belief that Obama Democrats would show up without being given a reason to.
As Tony says, “this is a lesson to these old conservative type Dems: your ‘D’ isn’t enough to bring out the people who voted for Obama. You have to believe in people and their ability to create change - not just LOOK like you do. Standards were raised along with turnout percentages. Patronage Dems don’t get it: Obama changed the game.”
