In Virginia, Creigh Deeds won't let Bob McDonnell run away from Bob McDonnell

In Virginia, the race for Governor has tightened up considerably over the past few weeks. GOPer Bob McDonnell's lead has shrunk from 15 points over the summer to just 4 points now. In part, that's because voters are getting to know the real Bob McDonnell, not the fake one presented in t.v. ads. McDonnell is the GOP candidate this year and at his core, he's a theocrat. I mean, he's really one of those hard-core religious right types. We know this because Bob McDonnell wrote about his beliefs in a 1989 thesis for Regent University, which revealed his out-of-touch problems with women working outside the home, contraception and, of course, gays. At the time, McDonnell was 34 years old and on his way to becoming a conservative leader in Virginia. But, since the Washington Post exposed the thesis, McDonnell has been running from his record. And, running as fast as he can. In McDonnell's t.v. ads, which we see here in the DC market, the guy is trying so hard to appear happy and normal that it's actually creepy.

McDonnell's opponent, Creigh Deeds, isn't going to let McDonnell run from his record:

Interesting find from "The Fix," 54% of voters "had heard "little or nothing" about the theocratic thesis yet. McDonnell has no where to go but down.
