There would be a lot of positives to a McDonnell win in November. 40% for Moran or McCauliffe sounds pretty good to me.

He is only marginally better than the other two yet presents the best shot the Dems have. he is incapable of moving far enough to the center based on the current state of the democrat party and those for which he will have to caucus with in order to get anything passed. Let's remember the VA gov cannot run for re-election, therefore applying addition pressure to cave from pressure within his own party. That pressure will come from the left.The current Democrat model is left, left left. We were told Obama was going to drift to the center in order to create some consensus. We all see how that worked out.I hope he loses. Bottom line our best bet is to have Moran or Mac win. Preferably Moran however, he is on a downward trend. I disagree.

We really need a picture of Webb hugging Schmuckie Schumer, that's as horrifying as Ray Nagin as Governor. I have a friend that encountered Webb in the Reagan administration and he said Webb had a raging temper as well. He was predicting Webb having a public or publicized meltdown after he took office but it never materialized. I'd like to think "the forehead" Webb will out himself as the ego centric jerk he is before the next election cycle. Squiddy, Richmond the next “chocolate city”?

So, I never thought I'd see the day when we had a senator I liked less than him, until "we" elected that ferret-faced lapdog Warner. It's humiliating as a Virginian to see him obediently perform whatever tricks his Democratic party owners demand of him. He's got to be the most overrated politico I've ever seen - only thing I recall of his administration was when he slashed services, and closed some state offices - woo hoo! I tell myself the only reason he was elected was because people were confused, and thought they were voting for John Warner. Subject at hand - it'd be tempting to go out and vote for the weakest candidate - TMac - many people haven't forgotten what he did to Obama. But I'd never want to run the risk of that carpet-bagging scumbag actually winning. And I could never bring myself to vote for him, no matter how Machiavellian - I just couldn't bear legitimizing him one bit. He may yet win today - a man as crooked and corrupt as him surely has his ways. And lately, every election result has gotten worse and worse - so, Tmac winning would only continue that trend. Next we'd probably elect Ray Nagin for governor ...

His positions while buying into the 'social safety net' are not rabidly socialist as are those of McCauliffe, who is an outright Yankee carpet bagger. That his claim to the office revolves around his ability to raise money nationally only goes to show that he is empty of ideas and ideals. It also shows how broken our federal system has become. Moran a transplant -- at least he lived and worked in VA before running for local office. Sitll, his positions reflect the sensibility's of Massachusetts not Virginia. The only question when it comes to Deeds is will he do as Webb, run as a moderate/conservative and then vote/rule as a liberal and cave into the pressures of the left (socialist) wing of his party once taking office.
