A little while ago in front of the Clarendon Metro station in Arlington, former Gov. Linwood Holton (R) endorsed future Gov. Creigh Deeds (D). I'll have video in a little while, but for now here are a few photos. Also, I particularly liked Linwood Holton's demolition of Bob McDonnell's transportation "plan" as a bunch of "false promises" (in contrast, Holton said, "Creigh Deeds has developed a plan that has been carefully enunciated and that is the most realistic plan of either of the two candidates"):
1) Sale of ABC Stores: "There will be no sale of the ABC system in Virginia as long as the General Assembly of Virginia exists, they will not permit the sale of a source of revenue that produces $100 million a year for them to use for schools and other public needs"2) Revenues from oil drilling: "That couldn't possibly bring us a dime within the next 10 years...oil profits is a false promise."
3) Take money out of the general fund: "Take money away from...public schools, from our system of public education...it won't work."
4) Put tolls on highways: "I want to know, which legislator is going to say, 'ok, put a toll on a road in my district'...that's another false promise."
