Washington Post Employee Suggests Washington Post Endorsement Decisive

Washington Post Metro columnist Robert McCartney, in a chat with readers:

Two big things that could help Deeds now: 1) Getting The Post’s editorial page endorsement, which he really needs, especially in No. Va.; and 2) Getting Obama to come campaign for him in a big way, which would help especially with African American and young voters. Let me be clear: I have NOTHING TO DO with The Post’s editorial page endorsement, and NO INSIDE INFORMATION on it. But it’s common knowledge that Deeds really needs it — and the earlier the better for him, and the more ringing the better for him.

I think an endorsement of Deeds is a safe bet, Rob.
