By the way, here's a video of Carole King explaining why it's so important for Virginians to defeat Ken Cuccinelli (and elect Terry McAuliffe) this year!

Send Bill CLinton to campagin for Mcauliffe.Who knows maybe all these attcks on obama will motivate Obama voters to vote.

(54,436 posts)Their DFA considers the VA gubernatorial race a top priority in stopping the extremist wing (OK, I know, is there any other?) of the Republican Party from gaining the governorships of any other major states.
I'm giving Howard and Jim whatever I can spare for this race (they set up a special site just for contributions for this effort). You KNOW the Kochs and Rove are going to be throwing tens of millions to keep this one away from us. McAuliffe is no Mark Warner, and they will be looking to exploit every weakness they can find.
Tell Howard his 12-string-playing friend in Germany sent you You may even get a personal note of thanks from him!

(19,348 posts)For Terry (a liberal) to be ahead in this poll in Virginia (in an off year election) is good news.
He needs to attack Cuccinelli's horrific social policies and talk economics.
