According to
PPP's latest Virginia poll, Bob McDonnell is "pulling away" with under 2 weeks left to go.
Bob McDonnell has opened up a double digit lead over Creigh Deeds in his quest to be Virginia's next Governor. He now leads 52-40, up from 48-43 three weeks ago.
McDonnell's standing is largely the result of two things: considerable support from independents and a disengaged Democratic electorate. With independents, who tend to split pretty evenly, the Republican leads 60-31. And while Barack Obama won Virginia by six points last year, the voters planning to turn out this fall supported John McCain by six points, a clear indication that many Democratic voters are just planning to stay at home.
Let's just put it this way; I have a lot of thoughts on how this campaign has been run and have also heard from a lot of Democratic insiders on this subject, but I'll save them for after November 3.
