McDonnell Takes Commanding Lead

A new Washington Post poll shows Bob McDonnell increasing his lead over the hapless Democrat Creigh Deeds 53%-44%

The Post concludes:

Deeds, a state senator from western Virginia, is widely seen by voters as running a negative campaign, a finding that might indicate his aggressive efforts to exploit McDonnell's 20-year-old graduate thesis are turning voters away.

Post poll also finds that 60% say McDonnell running positive campaign, 56% say Deeds is running negative campaign

I have said the same thing. If Deeds doesn't stop talking about the thesis soon he will get blown out.
