McDonnell's Crushing Win




Bob McDonnell's almost-final vote total in Virginia is 59 percent to Creigh Deeds' anemic 41 percent.

For all the talk of a referendum on Obama (to continue harping on a theme), I've seen nor heard anyone talk about what an embarrassment this represents for Tim Kaine -- not only the sitting governor, but the chairman of the national Democratic Party.

About

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
