The Democratic National Committee ahs brought Deeds and infusion of resources in the waning weeks of the campaign to help his campaign retool. A retooling may be in order but only as long as Virgina understands what a vote for Creigh is. The responsibility lies with the campaign to tell Virginians that Creigh and the Deomcrats are the way forward and will get federal funds for roads to quell traffic in Northern Virginia.
The McDonnell campaign is trying to make the race national in scope and harping on what the campaign says are 33 spending plans by the Deeds campaign. Deeds can come out now and finally tell his story and make sure McDonnell does not contorl the conversation.
Deeds is not out becuase Virginains are confused about him but not yet distrustful or unwelcoming to his message. Let's hope that in coming weeks Deeds figues out McDonnell is playing the same political cards and that the true message of the Democrats is the right one for Virginians.
