Lee Hochstadter writes the Virginia editorials for the post and unlike his boss, Fred Hiatt, Lee knows what he is talking about on Virginia and transportation issues.

Ruth, I think that you are either confused about the DC tax issue are just trying to make some mischief!

OldFatGuy, even a blind pig will find an occasional acorn and Creigh is far more progressive than you seem to realize; I can tell you from personal experience that Bob McDonnell is by far the greater of any other two evils that you might consider. Creigh is much in the mold of Gery Baliles and will be surprising a lot of people if he is elected governor. Besides, his name could have some coattails for House Democratic candidates in the rural areas of Virginia; don’t cut off your nose to spite your face!

News Tip: My congressperson, Ed Perlmutter, is preparing an ammendment for paying for healthcare reform. TAXING STOCK TRANSACTIONS! He says we helped out Wall Street now it is time for Wall Street to help out America.

Huh, I had been debating sitting this one out ever since my guy (Moran) lost in the primary (which would be the first election sat out EVER for me), and now my mind is made up.

If WaPo endorses him, I’m definitely not bothering to vote for him.

No more lesser of two evils for me Democrats. You want my vote from now on you’d best be a real fucking Democrat. And Creigh Deeds was by far the most Blue Dog Democrat of the three that ran in the primary.

No thanks, I’ll write in my own damned name. Screw voting for the lesser of two evils ANYMORE.

100 billion… hey that’s like 6 or 8 cheap weeks of defense spending… How dare anyone want to spend that kind of money not killing or oppressing people!

A reality-based Democrat isn’t met with derision by the reality-challenged WaPo. Is a new day dawning, or is this just a case of the blind pig finding an acorn?

When Deeds tell WaPo that in the interest of justice, the transportation funds ought to take the form of taxes on D.C. businesses, is there any precedent for recalling an endorsement? didn’t think so.

Nice touch, about WaPo not being known for rigor, is that your new renaming of ethix?
