Obama To Stump For Deeds

How much capital is Pres. Obama willing to spend on the VA and NJ GOV contests into the fall, especially if the debate over health care reform drags on? VA now looks like a better bet for his party than NJ, where Dem Gov. Jon Corzine's poll numbers continue to lag. But the Commonwealth is no guarantee; the battle between ex-AG Bob McDonnell (R) and state Sen. Creigh Deeds (D) remains a draw. Though the groundwork Obama put in motion there last year could certainly help Deeds.

So as Obama heads to VA early next month for his first event with Deeds, I wonder: How many times will we see Obama with Deeds in the fall? And will he cut an ad for the VA state senator from rural Bath County?

An invitation:
