Multi-Poll Time Series - Deeds has the trajectory to win

Similar to the time series data plots used by Nate Silver at 538.com in 2008, this multi-poll plot from Pollster.com tells the the same story we saw in the closing days of the Presidential election last November. Obama had a sustained upward trend in poll results, that carried through to 11/4. The momentum bodes well for Deeds, he will likely get the lion's share of the undecided at this point.

It is unlikely that the undecided will split with equal probability for each candidate. Better polling pundits than I, and poli-sci research says, the general tendency of late deciders is to go with the flow (apparent leader) and cling to safety (of the least risky choice)-- both of these behaviors favor Deeds.

Like Obama -- he has the trajectory to win.

Mike Signer - Bolling Bottled Up

from Star City Harbinger...

Signer addressed the nagging issue of campaign spending in this primary. “Moran, Deeds and McAuliffe have spent about $20 million combined,” he noted. “I believe the Wagner campaign and ours have spent around a million and a half.” Signer argues that small meetings like the one this morning are what will take him over the top on Tuesday. He spoke about the efforts of one of his local supporters who sent out personal emails to hundreds of his friends in support of the campaign.

“That is what it takes to win,” Signer claims. “It isn’t just about money.”

...

One supporter asked Signer how he will help the Democratic nominee for the governor’s race on June 10th if he wins on Tuesday: “My campaign has Bolling bottled up already . . . I’m more than happy to play the attack dog if I have to."

Gen. Wes Clark Endorses Mike Signer for LG

from Signer site:

“I know Mike from my 2004 presidential campaign in Virginia and his work on national security issues. Mike Signer has the strength and leadership that Virginia needs and I wholeheartedly endorse his candidacy for Lieutenant Governor,” said General Clark.

“The problems facing Virginia and this country are so urgent, that they demand strong, courageous leadership to carry us forward. Mike sees the office of Lieutenant Governor as more than just a placeholder position, but rather an opportunity to seek progress on the most pressing issues. Mike is focused on the future of Virginia, not the past. His approach to the office and his leadership on every issue from jobs and the economy to veterans issues and moves to the strengthen our democracy make Mike the clear choice on June 9th.”

“General Clark has served his country bravely and tirelessly," said Mike Signer. "General Clark is a model citizen, exemplary public servant, and beacon of honor. I am honored to have his endorsement. As Lieutenant Governor, I will be a public advocate for working Virginians and shine a spotlight on problems we’ve ignored for too long.”

General Wesley Clark (US Army, ret.) was a four star general in the U.S. Army and NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Europe. He was a 2004 presidential candidate for the Democratic nomination.
