Virginia 2009 Megathread

That has actually boosted my opinion of McAuliffe. Not enough to support him in the primary, but maybe enough so that I could reluctantly vote for him if I lived in the state and he won the primary, thankfully I won't ever have to do that no matter what.

you are shockingly predictable.

SurveyUSA says Ben needs to chill out.

McAuliffe 35%
Deeds 29%
Moran 26%

i believe terry is down from 37% in the previous poll and deeds is up from 26% and moran up from 22% so the trends are still in place. also notice deeds numbers against McDonnell.

It's obvious, ain't it?  Terry has hella national connections and Schweitzer is ambitious.  Terry's backing could jumpstart a presidential campaign from a nobody to a second-tier candidate overnight

But he is also the DGA chair. And losing a swing state governorship under his watch isn't going to exactly endear him among the Democratic establishment. Especially now that Obama controls it, not the Clintons.

wasnt Schweitzer a obama supporter in the primaries anyways? i think his endorsing terry probably has alot to do with terry promising to raise alot of money for governors or something like that.

well thats mostly a post primary boost its looking not bad for deeds nonetheless.
also i gotta laugh at the NRA ad there.

When are we going to get another poll?

i believe PPP said they were going to have one out in early july.

[Nhoj]

I predict their next poll, then, has Deeds-9.

Yeah thats about what im thinking too.
