Er, ah, uhm, eh, oh.
That’s what national Democrats are saying about Virginia and Creigh Deeds (Politico).
New Jersey? Democratic Governors Association chairman and Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer – “Corzine wins.”
Virginia? “I don’t which way that one ends,” Schweitzer said.
Another senior Democrat was more blunt. “I feel great about New Jersey, everything is moving in the right direction,” said this source.
Without being prompted, the Democrat added: “Virginia – not as much.”
Creigh Deeds won the Democrat primary by being more likable than Terry McAuliffe and less liberal than Brian Moran, just like..oh….just about everyone else in the state.
Oddly, Deeds has adopted his rivals’ chief flaws. He’s gone more negative then McAuliffe could ever dream, and he’s backed tax increases with a Moran-like passion.
Politico reports “Top Democrats have concerns over both the Virginia Democrat and his campaign, especially their near-blanket focus on the controversial graduate school thesis penned by McDonnell.”
No kidding? Any chance Deeds is going to offer anything but negatives attacks on McDonnell?
“Why stop what’s working?” said a Deeds source in the article.
That’s the funny part. The Deeds campaign is convinced they’re on the right track.
“If I were in their shoes and had a candidate who fumbled the tax question and was stupid enough to write an op-ed saying I’m going to raise your taxes, I’d be complaining about [the environment], too.” Top Democrat
National Dems $$$$ are heading to Jersey. So is Biden, Barack, and the first lady?
Virginia?
uhm………..
