The trouble here

is that too many people think Virginia is winnable as a Democrat without being exceptionally adept at communicating a plan. We are not quite the shade of purple that allows us to play the same kind of ball the Republicans do. In Virginia, the Democratic Party is the party of good governance, strong business, and practical taxation. We have to constantly remind voters that we deliver these things rather than promise them the high heavens that our opposition does.

It's also really important to realize that Virginians are overall still excited about our president and the work he is doing. Never apologize about your beliefs. Not bringing in the President earlier was the same as saying, "I am sorry we elected this guy."

We can do better than this and we have 2010 to prove it. Get excited about the House races because we have got to defend our people and win back more territory.
