(Greg Stone, LCRC, has something to say to the Poisson campaign) As we enter the last weekend before election day we’re being treated to a barrage of political mailers, as is usual for this phase of the election cycle. As I noted last week, the Democrats this year have apparently decided that engaging in deception [...]
There is no indicator whatsoever that Democrat Creigh Deeds is in such good shape that he doesn’t need to get his name and his message out to as many Virginians as he can over the next 6 days. So what does it say that he’s cutting his TV ad budget by over 60%? Turns out [...]
Reported over at Bearing Drift, both Public Policy Polling and SurveyUSA are reporting Republican candidates in Virginia with strong leads with a week to go. SurveyUSA shows Bob McDonnell over Creigh Deeds 58-41, Bill Bolling over Judy Wagner 56-42, and Ken Cuccinelli over Steve Shannon 57-41, double-digit leads for the Republican candidate in all 3 [...]
By Barbara Hollingsworth: Turns out that the widely reported demise of the Grand Old Party in Virginia last November was a tad premature. Buoyed by gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell’s double-digit lead in the polls and the White House’s public spanking of Democrat Creigh Deeds, Republican strategists predict they will retain all their seats in the [...]

Loudoun Times-Mirror blogger/reporter Nicholas Graham took note of a rather embarrassing faux pax out in the Golden State where Meg Whitman is angling to become the GOP nominee for Governor. Graham noted that Whitman’s asking people to get out to the polls on her behalf but she, herself, has never done so for anyone else. [...]
Well, I got another mailer this week from the Democrat side of the Virginia political landscape and, yes, it’s another deliberate deception about Tag Greason, Republican candidate for Delegate of the 32nd District. Funded and published by a PAC called “A Strong Majority”, it recycles the gossip-rag rumor-spread of a “story” published in the Loudoun [...]
Two newspapers in our area have issued endorsements for Bob McDonnell for Governor of Virginia, the regional Washington Times and one of our local papers, the Loudoun Times-Mirror. From the Washington Times: Unlike his opponent, Mr. McDonnell has experience as a statewide elected official running the attorney general’s office and as a local legislator. Instead [...]
Elections are just 2 weeks away, folks. Elections Countdown
