LOSER: Creigh Deeds is either holding, or …
Throw out the Rasmussen poll that had Bob McDonnell opening up a nine-point lead earlier this week as an outlier. (For now.)

He’s not getting that back anytime soon, I’m guessing.
LOSER: ‘Kate Plus 8’ minus the dead weight
So now the Jon guy thinks the show is exploitative of his eight children.
Convenient when he’s trying to pitch a reality show of his own.
LOSER: Brett Favre
If the NFL were the WWE, Vince McMahon would have Favre take the fall Monday night.
