Surprise, Surprise--The Washington Post Endorses Deeds

As if their coverage of the campaign weren't signal enough, the Washington Post Editorial Board has officially endorsed Democrat Creigh Deeds for in the 2009 Virginia Governor's race. I'd love to see data, any data, on the last ten years of DC/MD and VA races, to find out the percentage of time that the Post has endorsed the Republican vs. the Democrat. If anyone has this data, please let me know.

  1. The Post did endorse Bob Ehrlich in the 2006 Maryland gubernatorial (sorry, I know you hate that word) race. He subsequently lost 52-46. (Perhaps they knew he didn't have a chance so it was a safe 'see, we DO endorse Republicans' endorsement). I'll see if I can find more extensive data.

    We knew this was coming, but does it matter?
