The winners are losers
Believe us when we tell you this: Even the most pessimistic member of Creigh Deeds’ beleaguered campaign staff didn’t think it was going to be this bad.
Odd prediction: Governor McDonnell
Well, here we sit, just a week away from Election Day, and things are certainly not looking up for the good ol’ boy from Bath, Creigh Deeds.
Creigh Deeds crawls toward the finish line
There’s little doubt that would-be governor Creigh Deeds is currently stuck between Barack and a hard place. Long known as a genial, gun-lovin’ Democrat, Deeds has been forced to fight his current battle against Bob McDonnell—a slick, well-coiffed conservative Ken doll—well outside his comfort zone. Consider this: In their previous match-up, a hard-fought 2005 campaign […]
Congressman Eric Cantor mouths off
Suffice it to say that this will not go down as Rep. Eric Cantor’s finest moment. Appearing at Richmond Times-Dispatch “Public Square” healthcare forum, Virginia’s most-photographed congressman was confronted by a Virginia voter with an all-too-common tale of woe: One of her relatives had recently lost her job and her insurance, leaving her without the […]
McDonnell, Deeds and…Bacon?
We know it’s hard to believe, but there was once a time—way back when polling places had hitching posts and no legislative chamber was considered complete without a spittoon—that political races were completely ignored before Labor Day.

From the ballot box to the bullet box
Even for left-leaning liberal media pantywaists such as ourselves, one thing simply cannot be denied:
Virginia Republicans look to 2009…and beyond
If there’s one thing that we love about Virginia’s odd-year election cycle, it’s that it stretches the already interminable political season into near-perpetuity,

O.K., I admit it—I still owe Michael Dean 20 bucks. See, way back in the misty, mohawked recesses of time (like, 1984), when I was but a wee, dog collar-sportin’ Downtown Mall rat, Dean was the lead singer of Baby Opaque, the hands-down best band in Charlottesville at the time (sorry, Indecision fanatics). A completely […]
