Deeds’ VA Governor Campaign Was “A Little Too Negative,” Says Political Analyst
Joe Figueroa at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics says that Virginia Democratic candidate for Governor Creigh Deeds’ campaign was too negative and focused too much on social issues. Figueroa also says that Deeds’ competitor, Republican Bob McDonnell, ran a campaign with a “coherent” message focusing on jobs, lowering taxes, and improving transportation. (0:28)
