VPAP is doing some fun stuff with election data now, particularly this map of winners by municipality. This state is just a sea of Creigh Deeds, from north to south, east to west, with only four islands of McAuliffe and four islands of Moran. Democrats have a nominee with a tremendous geographic base of support. …

SUSA: Deeds is crushing McAuliffe and Moran.
SUSA has Sen. Deeds up by basically the same margins as yesterday’s PPP poll, confirming their results. SUSA gives him 42%, McAuliffe a distant second at 30%, and poor Brian Moran with half of Deeds’ support, at 21%. At this point, Creigh Deeds would have to kill, skin, gut, cook, and eat a live puppy …

PPP survey has Deeds dominating his opponents.
One day before the election, and Public Policy Polling has Creigh Deeds crushing his opponents with 40% of the vote, McAuliffe at 26%, and Moran at 24%. He’s ahead everywhere but Hampton Roads—including upstate. Outside of the eastern urban crescent, he’s up over 50%. Throughout the state his favorable ratings are far above those of …

Suffolk U. poll is a love letter to Deeds from VA Democrats.
Suffolk University’s new poll is like a big, wet kiss on Creigh Deeds’ cheek. He’s 7% ahead of Brian Moran and Terry McAuliffe (who are tied at 20%), but the real action comes in the questions about who has the most experience, who can deal with transportation problems, who has the best leadership skills, etc. …

Governor’s race trend lines.
Seeing this illustrated is really something. Moran appears to have plateaued, and McAuliffe’s reputation has caught up with him. The undecideds are breaking for Deeds. There’s a week until the election, and a lot can change in a week, but things certainly are looking good for my senator.
Moran promises to fight Marshall Newman.
Brian Moran told a Charlottesville audience today: A governor always has time to fight for equality. To allow discriminatory language in our constitution is not acceptable, and I will do everything I can in my power as governor to repeal the Marshall Newman Amendment. Emphasis mine. Here’s my question: What powers does the governor have, …
The NRCC’s foolish claims about Perriello.
Seeing the NRCC trying to paint Rep. Tom Perriello as Nancy Pelosi’s lapdog is pretty funny. Given Perriello’s voting record, I’m guessing Pelosi’s name doesn’t appear at the top of his fan club stationary. The NRCC’s most foolish claim is that “Perriello votes with Pelosi 91 percent of the time,” therefore he exhibits “unwavering support …

Deeds is demonstrably more bipartisan than Moran.
Here’s an interesting, contextless fact. I just crunched some numbers on bill copatrons in the legislature in the past four years, looking at who legislators tend to copatrons bills with. (I hope to add this as a Richmond Sunlight feature very soon.) As you can imagine, Democrats tend to copatrons bills with more Democrats than …

Burning my nonexistent Terry McAuliffe bridge.
Here’s the thing about Terry McAuliffe: I don’t like him. At all. Whether the man were a Democrat or a Republican I wouldn’t like him. I don’t trust him. I don’t believe that his motives are good. I think that he’s the opposite of what the Democratic Party needs, and I think he’s wrong for …

The Washington Post has endorsed Creigh Deeds for governor!
I’m stunned and very impressed: The Washington Post has endorsed Creigh Deeds for governor. In a long, detailed editorial running in tomorrow’s issue, they spell out why “Mr. Deeds may not be the obvious choice in the June 9 primary, but he’s the right one.” He’s “politically astute,” “in a unique position to persuade rural …
