From NRO Campaign Spot:
…hearing the Deeds campaign has some sort of follow-up attack, apparently something delicate because it deals with Bob McDonnell’s family. He didn’t have any details. He did add, however, that “voters don’t like bullies. If Deeds looks like he’s being too negative, it will backfire.”
I’ve tried doing a little bit of legwork and have found no other reference to this attack. However, there are few if any of Bob’s family members that would justify this attack, if/when it comes out; how can you even bother to claim relevance, besides Deeds’ continued disregard for voters.
Deeds has been ridiculed, justly, for his focus on social issues rather than the real issues Virginia faces, namely the economy and transportation. To release this attack and continue hammering on social issues, Deeds is gambling in the home stretch that Virginia voters care more about social agendas and less about the economy and transportation. Ask Jerry Kilgore how that gamble turned out.
Here’s hoping again hope that Deeds’ campaign has more sense than to release this alleged attack. I wouldn’t hold my breath.
