	Don't believe the soothing words of the Blue Dog pollsters, big-wigs and other DC smoke screeners.  The disastrous defeat of Democratic candidate Craig Deeds in the Virginia Governor's race was not a local thing.  Not a flash in the pan, at all.  The SCALE of the defeat was certainly not typical.

The NYT is like the House of Lords.  Pompous, self-referencing, and irrelevant except as a reliable source of gases for the Royal Derigible Airship Corps.<br />
