    Look for McDonnell to talk about the ideas he already has out there – transportation fixes, etc. Look for Deeds to try to to borrow a little Obama stardust, while telling us he (Deeds) will actually try to be responsible with our money… unlike Obama… That won’t be such an easy job…

    I agree, Jane.

    This debate is all about establishing and clarifying positions.

    I wonder if Creigh will outline his plan for fixing congestion on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

    Huge applause for Bob McDonnell as he is introduced.

    Opening statements done. Nothing new.

    “Virginia Talks but no one can hear it”

    Folks, I can’t get the audio….

    Here’s what I just tweeted:

    I’m giving up. Looks like @CreighDeeds wins keeping this a non-transparent debate. Citizens lose…again. #vagov.
