Virginia Governor’s Race Update

This morning’s Rasmussen Report polling says that Republicans have reason for optimism. Here’s what they’re reporting:

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds the closest race is between McDonnell, the former attorney general and lone GOP candidate, and Brian J. Moran, a former state delegate from Alexandria. McDonnell now leads Moran by 10 points, 44% to 34%.

The highest profile Democrat in the race is next. Terry McAuliffe, a longtime Clinton confidant and former national party chairman, trails McDonnell by 12 points, 45% to 33%. State Delegate R. Creigh Deeds of Bath County continues to fare the worst against his Republican opponent. McDonnell leads Deeds by 15 points, 45% to 30%.

Despite the good early news, there’s still alot of work ahead for Mr. McDonnell. Still, this is good news after last fall’s drubbing by then-Candidate Obama.

    Certainly a step in the right direction.

    We have to pay attention to David Axelrod’s opinion that some freedom of expression is ‘unhealthy.’ Democrats define ‘unhealthy’ as any speech that points out hypocrisy or failure due to leftist mismanagement or ineptitude.

    This will get ugly before the race is run. Kudos to Virgina for starting it all of early.

    And McDonnell needs to win by a margin that leaves no doubt whatever, what the choice of the people is; no chance whatsoever of a recount. The Dems will do their damnedest to challenge every thing they can.

    He needs an earthquake , not a landslide.
