Creigh Deeds appears to have a firm hold on the Democratic Governor candidacy for Virginia.

Credit could be given to the Washington Post’s endorsement and a tendency to stay above the fray of Moran vs. McAuliffe.

His surge over the last week of the campaign has him winning Fairfax County, the Richmond suburbs and even several major counties in the Hampton Roads area, some in upsets that even the latest polls could not have predicted.

More on Deeds, and the results around Blacksburg coming soon.
