"You said in the debate, 'I will not raise taxes,' What. Did. That. Mean?"

I promise I’m not going to raise taxes (but I’m not going to take a pledge?) but I am willing to raise taxes for the transportation fund.
Honestly, I had have a lot more respect for liberals if they were simply honest. I’d respect a liberal politician that came out and said I want to raise taxes for XYZ. I wouldn’t vote for them, but I’d respect them.
We won't!

johnCV (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 2:45PM EST (link)that the ‘racist misanthrope’ Bob McDonnell deliberatelyused a dangling participle in his thesis of 20 years ago. This illustrates his clear and conclusive record of attacks on single mothers and orphans.

VA-Gov (Rasmussen) Poll - McDonnell (+2): Proof the "High Road" approach doesn't work ...
Martin Knight (Diary) Friday, September 18th at 1:26AM EST (link)… especially if you’re a Republican.
Hit pieces and other journalistic dirty tricks work. If they didn’t, they would have been abandoned decades ago. As it is, too many people still reflexively trust what they see in the headlines and on TV.
McDonnell should have faced the issue head-on and made the entire subject toxic to both the Deeds campaign and the WaPo – and significantly destroyed the WaPo’s credibility while he was at it.
Either way, I believe McDonnell will still win – but attempting to high-mindedly glide past the issue instead of confronting and shooting it dead just made it all the more difficulty when he could have been cruising. It’s like leaving an enemy alive behind you.
The next batch of polls would most likely be better, but it should never have ever gotten this close.
Maybe...maybe not.
abbynormal Thursday, September 17th at 4:05PM EST (link)This from the Virginia Pilot on line article about the debate.
“Deeds repeatedly hammered McDonnell over his 1989 graudate thesis that advocated a conservative social agenda and took the position that women who work outside the home are harmful to society. McDonnell has disavowed some the 93-page treatise, but Deeds has continued to refer to it.
When Deeds returned to that topic near the end of the debate, he drew groans from some in the crowd at the global headquarters of Capital One, which hosted the event”.
Maybe it’s starting to wear thin.

DTOM, are you concerned? I was surprised to see
penguin2 (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 7:23PM EST (link)the poll results today and admittedly I was disheartened. We need to win this race. If we cannot put a Republican governor in Virginia in Nov. it tells me, we are not making the headway we need to in discrediting Obama and the Dems.
BTW, did you check your comment on Erick’s diary ? I left you a link of a fantastic picture of the 9/12 scene.

DONTREADONME (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 7:29PM EST (link)I am concerned that Creigh Deeds has somehow shifted the polls in VA, I can not believe it. Did I miss something? If VA goes D, then I have absolutely no idea whats going on, we are brain dead or ACORN helped there friend Gerry Connolly with voter fraud I mean registration.
Lastly, I did see the photo and it does show what I believe to be >100k visible. How many people do you think were past that pavilion all the way down the mall? How many people were jammed under the treelines? Again thanks for th the links.
I wouldn't worry about that poll on McDonnell....
JadedByPolitics (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 7:36PM EST (link)the post pulled the trigger to soon and McDonnell will recover from their slanderous action. I heard the entire debate today and Deed’s is as stupid as I thought he was. He btw would not say that he would STOP the terrorist’s from coming here to VA!

archer52 Thursday, September 17th at 7:53PM EST (link)One of the worst side effects of liberalism is that people who support it try to escape its effects my moving to red states. They screw up their own nest, realize they don’t like it and then decide to move to a “nicer” place, which was “nicer” because normal people lived there. Of course they always bring the same attitude and theories that screwed up the original location and can’t understand why the new place starts looking like the old place. It has happened in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, and now Virginia.
I understand there is a huge influx of federal government workers landing in the north end of the state. That will make a difference in the votes. Much like the NHS in Britain, those people, their families and their friends are going to vote for people and the party that will continue the system that provides them with a living.
Good luck to them, the key will that every voting Republican must turn out. Maybe ACORN will be side tracked they won’t be a factor, maybe.
archer52- Charlottesville has become big government as well
Scope (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 8:16PM EST (link)With the onset of the Perriello win in the 5th district, not only has Charlottesville become Progressive, but, he has invaded Danville as well. Charlottesville has been more than invaded by the Northeasterners, NY and NJ especially. They have been persuaded by the Liberals that came on the Mayflower (so to speak) that they could sell their properties for high dollars, and then move to this area, and have a really easy, great retirement, with much lower taxes, and a terrific slower lifestyle, which fits the seniors to a T. I know, I worked for one of the builders that advertised just that in some NY and NJ newspapers. Guess what? Charlottesville and the surounding area are now Liberal. Property taxes have gone though the roof, water is in short supply, the roads are as crowded as you can get, and, there is every community service known to man is now available in Charlottesville. Happems every time the Liberals converge on any community.
And one more thing has happened in Charlottesville and other liberal enclaves
