In Which the WaPost Provides the DNC with Post VA Election Talking Points

Despite the relentlessness of their support for Creigh Deeds, it seems the Washington Post just can't seem to push the old boy over the top in the race--and so, we now see the excuse talking points beginning to be made. Not wanting this election to be seen as any kind of a mandate on the first year of the Obama Administration, the line now is obviously that Deeds is a flawed candidate who just isn't connecting with the voters (you know, the way Mark Warner and Barack Obama do). It's not that Deeds' policies or approach are being repudiated (tie yourself to Gov Kaine and President Obama), it's that he's just not a "Bonhomie". Rubbish.
