Good news from the Deeds campaign:
The Virginia Police Benevolent Association— which endorsed Bob McDonnell for Attorney General in 2005— has announced its endorsement of Sen. Creigh Deeds for Governor of Virginia, citing his strong bipartisan record on public safety.
In 2005, then-Delegate Bob McDonnell said that the VPBA’s endorsement was one of the “most important endorsements that a candidate can have.” [Washington Post, 9/30/2005]
[...]
President of the Virginia Division of the Police Benevolent Association Jason Knorowski praised Deeds’ public safety plan.
“Senator Deeds earned the endorsement from the Virginia PBA during the organization’s unique and professional political screening process. Senator Deeds demonstrated his support for issues that are important to law enforcement and keeping our neighborhoods safe. The Virginia PBA encourages all Virginians to support strong, effective law enforcement by voting for Senator Creigh Deeds as our next Governor.”
Nice. I wonder if Bob McDOnnell still thinks this is one of the "most important endorsements that a candidate can have." :)
