"Mr. McDonnell's Bogus Roads Plan"

The Washington Post has endorsed Creigh Deeds for governor of Virginia. They have especially harsh words for Bob McDonnell's false roads plan.

The Republican candidate, former attorney general Robert F. McDonnell, offers something different: a blizzard of bogus, unworkable, chimerical proposals, repackaged as new ideas, that crumble on contact with reality. They would do little if anything to build a better transportation system. - The Washington Post

Some of that bears repeating:

A blizzard of bogus, unworkable, chimerical proposals, repackaged as new ideas, that crumble on contact with reality.

Kind of like his grad school thesis.

And lest people accuse the Post of being lukewarm in their support for Mr. Deeds, the following should be informative.

As we noted in endorsing Mr. Deeds in June's Democratic primary, his record in the legislature ably blended the conservative interests of his constituents with an agenda reflecting the prosperous, politically moderate face of modern-day Virginia. He has been a longtime champion of a more enlightened, bipartisan system of drawing voting districts, a stance to which Mr. McDonnell only recently gravitated. He has played a constructive role in economic development by shaping the Governor's Economic Opportunity Fund, which provides incentives for investors in Virginia, and he has stood for responsible environmental policies, including green jobs and alternative energy research. Despite his rural roots, Mr. Deeds has been ideologically flexible enough to support abortion rights; press for background checks on firearms buyers at gun shows; oppose displaying the Confederate flag on state license plates; and warm to equal rights for homosexuals. - The Washington Post

On November 3rd, vote Creigh Deeds for governor.
