It's Gotta Be Creigh

This morning I was at a breakfast fundraiser for Creigh Deeds.

In Mt. Jackson.

If any of you know where Mt. Jackson is, it's because you're a VA Tech or JMU student who briefly looked up as you were zipping down Interstate 81 at exit 273 and noticed there's a Sheetz. It's a highly conservative, thoroughly Republican area in Shenandoah County.

And a contender for the Democratic nomination for governor was there, smiling and talking and winning over curious Republicans.

That's why Creigh has got to be our nominee.

Deeds can win by dropping out

Let me start this by saying that I don't harbor any animosity toward Creigh Deeds or wish him failure. I've heard him described as being a "salt of the earth" kind of guy. I believe he serves the people of Virginia the best way he can, but politics being as it is; he has stumbled here and there. I think we need leaders like Deeds, and I hope he'll continue his service in the commonwealth.

We now have three polls spanning 12 weeks in the current Democratic primary. By now, candidates and activists should be thinking about the best way to maneuver for a victory in November.

Well, I've had some time to look at the latest PPP poll, and the fact is that it holds the best news for .... wait for it .... Creigh Deeds!

I know I'm in the tank for Creigh and therefore biased, but hear me out on this one.

But let me preface it by saying that I appreciate Kenton's take on this poll, although like me, he approached it from the position of an advocate for a candidate, in his case Brian Moran. The fact is that this particular poll, for whatever it may be worth, has data that should make both Deeds and Moran happy, and leave Terry McAuliffe scratching his head.
