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.
I just lost the debate feed…first question on education for McDonnell.
“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.

Audio’s back. I don’t know for how long.
