Yes, Democrat Creigh Deeds was endorsed for governor by the Washington Post.

But Republican Bob McDonnell has had a few endorsements, too. He’s been endorsed by the Culpeper Star Exponent, Bristol Herald Courier, Waynesboro News Virginian, Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star, Richmond Times-Dispatch, Culpeper Times, Washington Examiner, Washington Times, Loudoun Times-Mirror, News and Messenger (InsideNoVa.Com), Daily Press, Winchester Star, Harrisonburg Daily News Record, and the Northern Virginia Sun-Gazette Newspapers.

Also note the Daily Press and the Bristol Herald Courier endorsed Democrat Tim Kaine in the 2005 race.

To his credit, Deeds does have a few papers that are actually located in the state that have endorsed him. The Virginian-Pilot endorsed Deeds, declaring, “An effusive endorsement would ring false in the final hours of what has been a profoundly frustrating contest of banalities. Neither candidate has made a convincing case on the merits of his ideas or the strength of his leadership.” And the Roanoke Times declared, “Deeds could have shown more political leadership by putting forth a specific proposal with clear sources of revenue.”

Okay, so they’re not enthusiastic endorsements, but they are, technically, endorsements.
