McDonnell's 49% seems pretty firm right now, and he has 10% undecided to work with; unlikely that's going to break 9 to 1 in favor of Deeds. Deeds won't be receiving the "deed" to the Gov's mansion any time soon.
We're getting to that "dead girl" "live boy" phase.I expect Deeds to close a few points, due to an expected increase in support in NOVA (WAPO endorsement helps a bit there) but don't think turnout will favor him at all in the places he's strong; I stick with my original prediction from a few weeks ago of McDonnell by 5-6%

No one cares what the Post has to say or who they endorse....and McDonnell will win this race by doubel digits probably.
