Ken Blackwell has a great article on Townhall.com, where he discusses Creigh Deeds’ vicious attacks on Bob McDonnell and a thesis written 20 years ago. Blackwell made several good points in this piece, including the fact that many Virginians did not care about the 20 year old college paper, rather they cared about the issues that impact them on a daily basis, i.e, the economy.
Deeds’ campaign seems not to have caught fire this fall. White House political operatives–on condition of anonymity, of course, are trying to discount the loss they anticipate in the Old Dominion. “Deeds ignored advice, White House says” reads the latest front-page headline in the Post. If you’re the team quarterback in Virginia, that’s hardly the press coverage you need to see less than two weeks from game day.
The thesis attack has backfired on Creigh Deeds, as the polls are showing him in a downward slide.
