On one hand, Creigh Deeds. On the other hand, Creigh Deeds.
The Washington Post likes Creigh Deeds, Virginia’s Democratic nominee for governor. Actually, they may not be all that crazy about Deeds, but they hate-hate-hate Bob McDonnell, his Republican opponent.
In fact, they hate McDonnell so much that they actually find a way to heap praise on Deeds for his hilarious habit of taking both sides of every argument.
To supporters, his capacity for change suggests the promise of his leadership: that, never having been wed to ideology, he is capable of responding even-handedly to the array of economic and social challenges facing Virginia. To his skeptics, the trait merely evinces Deeds’s habit of trying to appeal to different constituencies by saying “yes” and “no” to the same question.
We agree with that analysis. Of course, we also disagree with it.
