This worries me...however, I think Deeds has 2 things going for him with the Undecideds: Deeds is much more moderate than McDonnell and he's less of a household name, so now that he's starting his general campaign he'll become well-known and pick up the votes.  So I think if Deeds can pull together the organization and energy that McDonnell's had he'll keep VA blue.

On here the colors are reversed(actually on here they are the way they are supposed to be).

Yes I noticed that it threw me off for a while haha.

Are they switched because of the global presence and the typical red-liberal blue-not liberal correlation?

Thanks for the welcome and alright to clear up any discrepancies-

I think Deeds will be able to keep Virginia Democratic.

Also I'd like to add a 3rd reason: NoVa just keeps on growing.
