The defeat of Creigh Deeds, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, by Republican Bob McDonnell was surprising only by the height of the double-digit margin of victory.

During the past few days I frequently have been encouraged to point my finger and loudly proclaim, "I told you so!" -- but I resist such behavior because it would be unproductive.
