Deeds on Holy Ground

According to the Virginian Pilot, Creigh Deeds completed a whirlwind tour of eleven churches this past Sunday. This is a fantastic strategy from the Deeds campaign. Visiting churches is a reliable way to connect with people that are likely to vote. Not only do older people tend to go to church and vote in larger numbers, according to the article, the churches Deeds targeted were also predominately African American. This is a key constituency that came out in large numbers for Barack Obama last fall and many expect them to stay home on November 3rd. That is unless Deeds can get them to come out to the polls.
