In case you missed it, a couple of days ago Politico reported the Democratic National Committee is committing another $1 million to Creigh Deeds’ campaign! As the story notes, this is in addition to the $5 million the national party already gave the campaign last month. Clearly the national party recognizes what Virginians have been recognizing for weeks: Deeds is on the path to victory!
The article accurately observes that after the DNC’s first donation, Deeds surged from being behind by more than a dozen points to being just outside of the margin of error in many polls. With these additional funds, Deeds will be able to continue to broadcast his plans for the future of the Commonwealth to undecided voters.
While the article also points out that the Republican National Committee gave $7 million to McDonnell’s effort last September, it is important to remember that despite these funds, McDonnell lost ground in the polls all last month. Also, when you consider that Deeds outraised McDonnell in July and August, it is no wonder the RNC has had to pour outside money into the race. Virginians have shown that they are not willing to buy what Bob McDonnell is trying to sell them. No matter how much the national party throws at McDonnell and his campaign, it is clear that Virginians are not interested in a man like Bob McDonnell.
