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.
