Unemployed is over 9% now. What happened to ending the war in Iraq? We now have 4,000 more soldiers in Iraq than when GWB was in office. The many FAILURES of Obama may be the reason his strongly approve index rating is now at -1 that didn't take but 5 months. When BHO gets done throwing money out the window GWB might not look so bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10563856.post-86235150942221328542009-06-10T20:50:27.416-04:002009-06-10T20:50:27.416-04:00It is really exciting now that the primary is over...It is really exciting now that the primary is over and done that everyone who were surrogates and advocates for their respective candidates can combine their efforts towards our unified ticket! If we put as much effort into this ticket as we did our individual candidates during the primary I think we are well on our way to victory on Bob, Bill and CoochDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08981092788498013820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10563856.post-68494210000517154372009-06-10T16:28:32.248-04:002009-06-10T16:28:32.248-04:00I agree, Kris, there were a lot of high informatio...I agree, Kris, there were a lot of high information, intelligent voters out there, who don't want ideolgogical gridlock. They want solutions to Virginia's real problems, including transportation, maintaining a quality educational system, and bring in new jobs.<br /><br />That's why, Anonymous, trying to label Creigh as anything but a moderate will fail. He's a pragmatic centrist who can't be pinned by easy labels. So are Jody Wagner and Steve Shannon.<br /><br />So, yes, I believe we have a winning ticket today!Karen Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954405672195734097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10563856.post-12137222474353103772009-06-10T14:48:43.071-04:002009-06-10T14:48:43.071-04:00I saw lots of high-information voters who were try...I saw lots of high-information voters who were trying to choose the candidate they thought would be strongest in the fall.Kris Amundsonhttp://www.7-west.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10563856.post-28057823578585327602009-06-10T14:17:07.545-04:002009-06-10T14:17:07.545-04:00Good analysis, Karen.

I get frustrated at times that Virginia is not a more liberal state, but having a candidate who recognizes that there really are two Virginias that have different needs and who pledges to bridge that gap is a step in the right direction.<br /><br />Anything could happen in the next five months, but I'm pretty confident that Deeds, the sometimes-conservative, will benefit from Kaine's massive buildup of the Democratic establishment to win against McDonnell, the newly-reborn moderate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10563856.post-22753977952751840712009-06-10T14:05:28.897-04:002009-06-10T14:05:28.897-04:00Looks to me like Sunny Bob's going to have his...Looks to me like Sunny Bob's going to have his work cut out for him contrasting himself to eternal nice guy Deeds.<br /><br />Great analysis Karen, as always. I worked for Brian and was disappointed that he didn't win, but as he himself urged last night it's time to set aside any disappointment and work unstintingly for Creigh's election. I also believe in incrementalism.Catzmawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009812244200263064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10563856.post-19815852693898255222009-06-10T13:59:58.080-04:002009-06-10T13:59:58.080-04:00Creigh Deeds said in the 2/1/09 Washington Post th...Creigh Deeds said in the 2/1/09 Washington Post that he will not be outflanked as “the most progressive candidate in this race”.
