The question should be Why was it a blow out in VA?
Governor Tim Kaine is the head of DNC. There had been an established machine in Va by the now, Senator Warner. 8 years of successful run in Va? There should never have been a blow out.
Loosing the governorship by 5 to 9 points can be explained away. Loosing by over 18 points is a blow out. Deeds took with him other democratic candidates.
Yes, excuses are now being formulated. Since 1967 only X% of people voted in an off year election. BS. AA and the youth stayed home. More BS.
This site is a reality based community. I would like us to act like it and call a spade a spade. Governor Kaine failed on his job. Therefore, he should be replaced. Anything short of that is a cover up. Governor Kaine has been an executive of the common wealth of VA. He knows Deeds. He resides in VA. His sole responsibility is to help Democrats get elected. Mr. Kaine failed. Had it been just the demise of Deeds, I would have kept quiet. To borrow a coin from Bush, it was a thumping. I am tired of hearing all the excuses. Loosing is not a feel good emotion. It should not be accepted.
