People have been dissappointed by the same as usual BS from the Dems.
People expected change.To many nothing has changed.The pussy footing by the WH on HCR PO has not helped.
The corportaions are still the ones sitting at the table.

whatever.
i actually live in virginia, and this has nothing to do with the white house. creigh deeds is an idiot and a republican. i don't vote for republicans OR idiots (usually the same thing, but there are exceptions).
i voted straight dem the rest of the ticket. but i wrote in for governor. hopefully many will follow suit, so that the results show a lot of dem voters were disgusted with deeds.

I'm surprised this one hasn't been called yet. I expected it would be called the moment the poll closed.
