Wilder Cool on Endorsing Deeds

Interesting development in the Governor’s race.  From the Politico:

The Obama administration dispatched a senior aide to Richmond Wednesday to urge former Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder to get behind state Sen. Creigh Deeds, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee.

Patrick Gaspard, the White House political director, met with Wilder, the nation’s first elected black governor, for over two hours in Virginia’s capital.

But Wilder, in disclosing the meeting in an interview with POLITICO, made it clear that he remained far from endorsing Deeds and was in no hurry to weigh in on the closely watched race — all the while outlining with his typical brutal candor what he thought some of the party’s challenges were and what was at stake.

There have been other times when Governor Wilder has only endorsed at the last minute, and it may turn out to be the case in this instance.  It is interesting that the White House dispatched their political director to try to convince the former Governor to part with his endorsement.  Does that say something about what they think of Deeds chances in November?
