Tony Lee: Why the Deeds Campaign Isn’t Working

Excellent article on Deeds’ attempt to hit the reset overcharge button:

Last week, Creigh Deeds attempted to reset a campaign many believe is staggering on the ropes.  His over-hyped and under delivered speech reminded me of the moment when Hillary Clinton gave her Russian counterpart a red button that had “peregruzka” written on it. Unfortunately for Mrs. Clinton, “peregruzka” was the Russian word for “overload” or “overcharged.” The correct Russian word for “reset” is “perezagruzka

Instead of “resetting” the campaign, Deeds’s speech represented a campaign that may be overloaded with consultants and interest groups, a campaign that may overcharge Virginians with its myriad of promises that are not backed by concrete proposals detailing how those promises will be paid for.

Spot on.  Great analysis.
