Now this is an interesting comment:
It appears the @joe_abbey rumors today was RIchmond based Creightards trying to CA– USE a coup- and their planned coup has miserably failed.
That would be interesting given that Prof. Sabato had mentioned earlier:
Top Dems (Warner, Kaine, Obama) will have to organize major rescue effort soon for Deeds. POTUS can’t afford to lose both NJ & VA badly.
So if it’s Richmond based, who at the top levels in Richmond were looking to sack Joe Abbey as CM for Deeds? Was it because of the “Rebel Yelp” or was it because certain folks higher up the food chain wanted a change and saw the Rebel Yelp as the excuse?
Jury is still out, but if Ben Tribbett has the goods, this has gone from internal housecleaning to Byzantine palace coup very quickly.
