A Nail In The Coffin

Richmond Times Dispatch poll has McDonnell up still by double digits.

Further, McDonnell is statistically tied with Deeds among women, a traditional bulwark for Democrats. Deeds has tried to invigorate female voters by spotlighting portions of the thesis in which McDonnell, among other things, criticized working women as a threat to families. McDonnell now disavows such views.

Deeds’ attacks on McDonnell apparently have backfired, with the Democrat’s unfavorable rating, at 42 percent, exceeding his favorable score. McDonnell has a 51 percent favorable rating.

The Times-Dispatch Poll suggests that Deeds might not have been helped by President Barack Obama’s visit to Norfolk a week before the election.

The appearance, which roughly coincided with the poll, was intended to drive up support for Deeds among Obama’s key constituents, including African-Americans. However, the poll shows that black support for Deeds, at 82 percent, is virtually unchanged from early October. Deeds also is slipping in Hampton Roads, site of the Obama visit and McDonnell’s home base.

A bad omen for Creigh is that High Chancellor Barry O himself couldn’t boost the floundering campaign’s numbers. If the numbers ring true at the polls, this is going to be a blowout election.

Origins of the Term ‘Creightard’

A man walked into a very high-tech bar. As he sat down on a stool he noticed that the bartender was a robot.

The robot clicked to attention and asked, “Sir, what will you have?” The man thought a moment then replied, “A martini please.” The robot clicked a couple of times and mixed the best martini the man had ever had. The robot then asked, “Sir, what is your IQ?”The man answered “Oh, about 164.”

The robot then proceeded to discuss the theory of relativity, inter-stellar space travel, the latest medical break through, etc.  The man was most impressed. He left the bar.

But thought he would try a different tact. He returned and took a seat. Again the robot clicked and asked what he would have? “A Martini please.” Again it was superb! The robot again asked “What is your IQ sir?” This time the man answered, “Oh about 100″.

So the robot started discussing NASCAR racing, the latest basketball scores, and what to expect the Dodgers to do this week end.

The guy had to try it one more time. So he left, returned and took a stool…. Again a martini, and the question, “What is your IQ?” This time the man drawled out ” Uh….. bout 50″.

The robot clicked then leaned close and very slowly asked,
“A-r-e……… y-o-u………g-o-i-n-g………..t-o……..v-o-t-e……….f-o-r……….C-r-e-i-g-h?????”

(This is a re-hash of a Hilary nomination joke that appeared here a while back. Hats off.)

And for those of you trying to analyze the meaning of this joke…it has nothing to do with race or socioeconomic status. It means that only an idiot would vote for Creigh Deeds at this point.

DC Sniper To Die By Lethal Injection

Sniper ExecutionIt’s probably been a while since you’ve heard the name John Allen Muhammad. He’s the sniper who terrorized the greater D.C. area in 2002. He declined to choose between death by electrocution and death by lethal injection. In that case, the Virginia code defaults to lethal injection. He plans to appeal and has asked Governor Kaine for clemency. His execution is set to happen on November 10th.

Good riddance.
