Matt explained how the district isn't strictly liberal or conservative, and his votes have done a good job of representing his district- and, more importantly- what he believes.Bryan, your ad hominem attacks are petty and rude. Also, are you familiar with the Deeds race at all? His loss was certainly contributed to his poorly run campaign and unlikely candidacy. He ran a disgustingly bad negative campaign, completely failed at getting democrats and newly registered voters out to vote, isolated the liberal base, and had hardly any volunteer base.Great article, Matt!

Great article, Matt!

Instead, the party should pour its resources into turning out each and every liberal voter at the University and in the Charlottesville area."LOLwow. The head in sand naivete of some of the UVA kids - silver spoon in hand - is really just astonishing sometimes.Matt, Tommy boy is going to get humiliated next November by at least the same margin that Deeds was a few weeks ago. Election results you don't like - especially the ones that are landslides - are not the result of your party making a few tactical mistakes in forcing people like them to vote when they would prefer not to - or indeed switch over to the other party because they don't like the way things have gone in the last year.Seriously, it's time to grow up and get a grip on reality. “The party cannot make the same mistake it did during the gubernatorial election by focusing on low-density areas, which are generally conservative, in the hopes of nabbing a few voters here and there.

Yet he votes for a liberal agenda. That means he does not really represent the people of the district. Then the district should throw the bum out.
