I've been wanting to bring up the '05 election in a post, as that template that MCDonnell used against is likely what they would re-use against him again, which you allude too. Mainly, he's an awfully conservative Democrat, especially for the more progressive enclaves of the state. The other thing though, is to point out that Deeds, while he lost by very little, in doing so ran significantly behind Kaine, which sorta puts his electability argument to rest. I sorta think that the WaPost endorsement was their means of conflict avoidance, but, todays' PPP poll showing the race 29-20-20 means it really is tight and up for grabs, especially with 31% undecided. We are gonna get a bump soon with Moran! Good post Joel.
