It’s pretty bad when your shameless self-promotion and narcissism stands out in a city like Washington DC. What do you expect from a guy who inspired a lobbyist to start a “grassroots” Draft Eric Cantor for VP (but in fairness to Cantor, lobbyists and the D.C. establishment are what passes for grassroots in Republican circles). So former McCain campaign staffers confirm what everyone […]

Then, this morning, I see this:
Rep. Eric Cantor led a much-publicized GOP listening tour this past weekend — or so we all thought.

Democratic Gov. Timothy M. Kaine was visibly angry after lawmakers turned down the cash. The issue appears to be a big factor on the campaign trail as Democratic activists spent Sunday canvassing in precincts of Peninsula Republicans who voted against accepting the money.

Another Poll Shows McAuliffe With Double Digit Lead

The Moran campaign has gone extremely negative on Terry McAuliffe over the last few months. The result? He’s tanking in the polls and Terry’s favorability has gone up. The more good news the McAuliffe campaign recieves….the more negative the Moran campaign gets….the less competitive this race becomes. 
Deeds leads McAuliffe 30%-24% in the 540 area code, with Moran at […]
