Although it wasn't the explosion that killed them, it was blunt force trama.

blunt force trauma would be a pretty good name for a band.

Terry made his first 30-second and luckily enough Virginia....he's a man of the people!

I kinda chuckle at the fact that in 30-seconds he used the word "job" 4 times. I wonder if he's gonna run on the economy?

[Hottub]

Meh. It's a commonwealth.

So the second poll for the Virginia democratic governor primary (http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2009/03/not-much-movement-in-virginia.html) is in:

Terry McAuliffe 21 (18)
Brian Moran 19 (18)
Creigh Deeds 14 (11)
Undecided 46

Full survey here. (http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_VA_303.pdf)

Just watch....McAuliffe will have a double-digit lead by the end of the year. The man is a political cockroach.

[Tallman388]

It would be a shame if the entire campaign passed without any mention of his Global Crossing jackpot.

[SP1!]

political cockroach.

Isnt that just redundant about every politician?

[A.J.]

Thank God he can only serve 4 years. I'll move to the Middle East again to ride it out.

[boosterp]

I was hoping it was Christa McAuliffe.

I thought similar.

[PapaBear]

I absolutely nothing about this guy. What's his deal? Fill me in, please.

Deeds wins in Virginia (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/23547.html)

Creigh Deeds, a longtime state senator from rural Virginia, crushed two opponents Tuesday to win the Democratic nomination for governor in the race this fall — a contest that will draw national attention as an early indicator of how Democrats are faring in the Obama era.

The primary results were a brutal repudiation of the most famous man in the race: former Democratic National Committee Chairman and Clinton family friend Terry McAuliffe, who until recent days was widely seen as in command of the race.

In the end, he wasn’t in command, and it was not even close. Deeds, who is from tiny Bath County and owns a mule named Harry S Truman, beat McAuliffe and former state Del. Brian Moran by a roughly 2-1 ratio.

Kudos to you Virginia democrats.
