Random musings

* Notice how newspapers are giving the Washington Post’s endorsement the credit for Deeds’ victory.

* The Mainstream media thinks this is a story of how McAuliffe lost, not how Deeds won.

* Two Northern Virginians split votes. Do regional politics still play?

* No matter what anyone says or doesn’t say, 2008 is ancient history.

* Does anyone really think Terry McAuliffe is going to “do everything he can to get Creigh Deeds elected”?

* DC connections = political kiss of death in Virginia

* Does Dick Saslaw really want a special election in Bath County?

* Will Deeds rebuke negative campaigning that’s done on his behalf?

* Will Democrats be as disinterested in November as they looked yesterday?

* Are unions and national Democrats that interested in Virginia without T-Mac?

* Will the Dems waste all their firepower on Cuccinelli and let McDonnell run free?

* What’s Jody Wagner’s platform? A supreme inability to realize a recession means less money and not more money?

* Gotta go back to 1989 to find a Democrat Attorney General in Virginia, and that was a re-election.

* Democrats dumped an incumbent Delegate in Fairfax. That’s usually not the sign of a Party doing well. While Ward Armstrong focuses on getting more seats, is he letting incumbents sink or swim and making his own job harder?

* Let’s see Creigh Deeds and Jody Wagner have a debate on the Second Amendment.

* Will Deeds admit he’s in favor of the tax increases he voted for just last year?

* Will the Democrats’ “Pat Robertson Clone” ad that they trot out every four years work on a Catholic?
