Cucinelli 'Covers Up'

Attorney General Ken Cucinelli's latest act of head shaking stupidity? Presenting pins to his staff which pictured a new Virginia State seal in which Virtus' breast -- exposed in the seal which has served our state without controversy for 234 years -- is covered by a armored breast plate.

My only question is when are my fellow Virginians going to raise their voice in protest to the time-wasting, tax revenue-squandering, and downright embarrassing agenda AG Cucinelli is imposing on our beautiful state? Virginian's are not anti-gay homophobes, we are not Dixie-obsessed nuts who think slavery was good and not worth mentioning during Confederate History Month, and we are not prudes or uneducated yokels who are embarrassed by classical art. Shouldn't we act like we don't want to be recognized as such?

Deeds - Lessons Learned - Every Voter Counts

Tom Jensen (PPP) audio interview on WVTF Va Public Radio:

Lessons Learned:

<> Deeds got 80-90% of undecided votes.

<> Deeds competed everywhere.

<> Deeds focused on 4th quarter game plan. Didn't get sucked into an ad spending battle with McAuliffe, early in campaign. Ran race as a long-distance runner, not a sprinter.

<> Virginia roots matter. "Man of the people" label is a given with Creigh.

<> McDonnell will have a tough sell -- that he can offer any real progressive, positive change in Virginia. The VA GOP has focused on barriers, blockades and bluster to stop any significant legislative progress in the last four years. Party of NO ... to Party of Just Say Yes? Really? NOT!

<> VA GOP personal attack ads against well-regarded Deeds are likely to be ineffective. Virginians know the difference between good guys and bad guys. Good luck with that Bobby McD!
