After Bob McDonnell’s drubbing of Democrat Creigh Deeds, The Washington Post should be humbled considering the paper waged what can only be seen as a politically motivated crusade to make the race about social issues discussed in McDonnell’s decades-old college thesis.

This was clearly a side issue compared to the economic issues the McDonnell campaign was emphasizing. In fact, earlier today I wrote, “With McDonnell’s resounding win tonight, perhaps the Post will think twice about putting its credibility on the line before making itself the opposition research arm of Virginia Democrats. But don’t bet on it.”
