The Washington Post endorsed Creigh Deeds in the June 9th Democratic Primary because
“Mr. Deeds courageously voted for a proposal that included raising the state’s gas tax.”
That, and the Post’s assertion that Deeds is not the conservative Democrat people thinks he is, should give Deeds pause before he starts celebrating.
“Some progressive voters may look past Mr. Deeds, assuming he’s too far to the right on social issues. They should look again.”
The Post made the case that Deeds is a superb tax-raiser and put some dents in his 2nd Amendment reputation.
If Deeds wins the nomination, McDonnell may very well use this endorsement as a mailpiece.
