Virginia Candidate Wants To Avoid The Card Check Issue

Thursday, June 4th, 2009 by Admin

We’ve noted that Virginia gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell has made his opposition to the federal Employee Free Choice Act and its card check provisions a part of his campaign. It must be having some effect in his race, since a Democratic opponent’s temper seems to have flared over having to talk about the issue:

“I resent the heck out of Bob McDonnell and others making this, trying to make this a state issue,” said Democratic candidate Creigh Deeds, adding that the bill is not something a Virginia governor will ever have to take action on.

Ha! Imagine that. A would-be governor wanting to avoid talking about issues that would have a significant impact over those he governs. This is yet another sign that moderate politicians want desperately to avoid this unpopular issue.
