WASHINGTON (CNN)–Vice President Joe Biden vows to continue campaigning for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Creigh Deeds.
"I hope to god you understand this race is winnable," Biden said Thursday at a fundraiser for Deeds in Alexandria, Virginia.
A new Washington Post poll suggests Deeds trails Republican candidate Bob McDonnell, the state's former attorney general, by nine points. Biden also made reference to New Jersey Gov. John Corzine, who is facing a tough bid for re-election, saying,"they declared him dead two weeks ago. He is now ahead."
The most recent polls in New Jersey indicate that Corzine is basically tied with Republican challenger Chris Christie, a former federal prosecutor.

I don't see how Biden can help anybody???? If I was Deed I would get some blue dog Democrats to campaign with him that are popular. Keep those two White House guys out of the race. Otherwise it will be a landslide State victory for Bob.
Better make him follow the teleprompter this time...
Biden to continue campaigning for Deeds?...congratulations Governor McDonnell.
Why is Biden campaigning for the gubernatorial candidate? I am so tired of the President and Vice President wasting taxpayers' time and money on personal ventures. Why don't they actually do their job – seems like they haven't done a thing since being put in office 9 months ago.
If the democrats lose the governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey, that can only mean the people in those states prefer to say NO now instead of YES.
That's good news for Deeds opponent in VA. Christie in NJ should figure out how to get Biden into NJ to campaign for Corzine!
