We think it's good news that the most electable Democrat running for Virginia governor, Creigh Deeds, won yesterday's primary by a large majority. Deeds racked up about 50% of the vote, against fellow State Senator Brian Moran and moneybag motormouth Terry McAuliffe. McAuliffe, who just a few years ago was contemplating running for governor of Florida, was trying to buy the governorship with significant advertising, along with name recognition. Unfortunately, name recognition worked against him, particularly in Northern Virginia, where voters rejected him by double digits. Deeds won 10 of 12 Congressional districts in a display of statewide strength. He now faces Rethuglican weenie frat boy Bob McDonnell in November.
