Moran Keeps His Lense on Deeds

Former delegate Brian Moran may have resigned from the General Assembly, but he's still keeping close tabs on one of his rivals for the Democratic nomination for governor, Sen. R. Creigh Deeds (Bath).

At yesterday's Senate Transportation Committee meeting, a Moran campaign volunteer had a video camera fixed on Deeds for nearly two hours as he and other senators considered legislation.

At least one Democrat complained about the tracker, saying it's inappropriate for Moran to be badgering a fellow Democrat while he's trying to do official business.

But Peter Jackson, a Deeds spokesman, brushed off the incident, calling it part of "the modern campaign." Jesse Ferguson, a Moran spokesman, also claims that Deeds had previously filmed Moran during last year's legislative session.
