Mr. Deeds for Governor - washingtonpost.com
From the article....

There are plenty of reasons why Mr. Deeds is the better choice for governor
in the Nov. 3 election. He has stood with Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, the incumbent,
and his predecessor, now-Sen. Mark R. Warner, in support of the sane fiscal and
budgetary choices that have made the state one of the best-governed and most
business-friendly in the nation. Mr. McDonnell has generally spurned those
policies, most notably by opposing Mr. Warner's landmark tax package in 2004,
which attracted bipartisan support as it boosted public safety and education and
protected the state's finances. Mr. Deeds has compiled a moderate record on
divisive social issues that reflects Virginia's status as a centrist swing
state. Mr. McDonnell has staked out the intolerant terrain on his party's right
wing, fighting a culture war that seized his imagination as a law student in the
Reagan era.

Intersting article, however I bet there is a lot of right-leaning spin here. I am looking forward to fact-checking this article.

RealClearPolitics - High Price of ObamaCare

RealClearPolitics - High Price of ObamaCare

Will a young, healthy, childless individual or couple buy health insurance costing 7.5 percent of their income, as required by Obama's health legislation? Not until they get sick. Then they can always buy the insurance, and the Obama bill requires the insurance companies to give it to them. And if the premiums come to more than 7.5 percent of their income because they are now sick, no problem. Obama will subsidize it.
Instead, young, healthy, childless people will likely opt to pay the $1,000 fine (aka slap on the wrist) mandated in the bill. After all, even if they make as little as $50,000 a year, the fine is a lot cheaper than 7.5 percent of their income (or $3,500 a year)!
