The Agenda | Monday, Aug. 10

Chris Graham

I’m going to try to corral a couple of my poli-sci experts today to talk about the Creigh Deeds campaign – examining specifically the new homage to Barack Obama strategy and my supposition that Deeds is taking Shenandoah Valley voters for granted.
My goal is to have that posted by 4:30 p.m. today.

Elsewhere:
– It’s pretty quiet on the Valley political front today. No scheduled events that I’m aware of.
– Still haven’t heard from the Steve Shannon folks. I’d love to make contact. I’m sure he’s a nice guy and a good candidate. I want to determine that for myself.
