Daffy Duck(er) Deeds

Overview: The Washington Post is Reporting that Sen. Creigh Deeds has reaffirmed his unwillingness to commit to a series of debates requested by Bob McDonnell.  McDonnell wants 10 debates between now and the election.  Deeds will only agree (so far, at least) to one debate – the traditional debate at the Homestead in Deeds’ home county (July 25).  How very brave of Sen. Deeds!  See the article here.

Separated at Birth:Virginia politicians seem immune to calls for discissions on specific issues.  Most are happy to avoid the issues, avoid debate and run the printing presses to churn out campaign signs for median strips and roadsides throughout the state.  That was certainly Sen. Deeds’ approach in the recent primary.  However, Deeds has a more agressive and effective opponent than he had in the primary.  I believe that Bob McDonnell should steal an idea from the campaign of Tim Kaine and dress up a person in a duck suit to follow Sen. Deeds around emphasizing Deeds’ willingness to ”duck” a debate of the issues.  For my part, I will refer to Sen. Deeds exclusively as Sen. Creigh “Daffy Duck(er)” Deeds until he summons up sufficient calcium to go from scyphozoa to vertebrate.  Meanwhile, inquiring minds want to know – were these two twins separated at birth:

"It's Duck Season"

"It's debate season"
