There are only 4 days until Election Day, and the blogs are buzzing over who looks like the best candidate to win the Democratic primary. Bloggers are praising Terry for being the only candidate to take a bold stance against special interests. More have recently come out with endorsements of Terry, while other supporters have been discussing polls and recent news coverage.
At Blue Virginia, Lowell reported on Terry's recent endorsement from Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, providing a post with commentary and a second post with video of the endorsement event.
A top-notch endorsement for Terry McAuliffe, following Ed Rendell's endorsement earlier today...Chris Cillizza adds that Schweitzer's endorsement "sends a message that not only does Schweitzer think McAuliffe will win next Tuesday's primary (otherwise, why fly in from Montana to stand with a potential loser) but also that McAuliffe represents the best chance for Democrats to keep the seat in the fall election." Nice.

Terry McAuliffe may be the first candidate for governor to ask Grady Spades to lift his shirt.
Spades, who works at Jack Brown's Tattoo Revival and has a number of tattoos, was at the bar in Sammy T's downtown restaurant yesterday when McAuliffe came in to do some campaigning.
"Did that hurt?" McAuliffe asked, pointing to the tattoos on Spades' arms. "You got the back, too? Stomach?"
Within a minute, McAuliffe had Spades raising his shirt to show off the tattoos.
He ended by pressing stickers and brochures into Spades' hands, arguing that even though Spades lives in Maryland, he could be a billboard for McAuliffe.
"I'm running for governor. I need your help, brother," McAuliffe said. "Jobs!"

Terry McAuliffe for Governor (New Journal and Guide)
New Journal and Guide

Virginia Democrats will go to the polls next Tuesday, June 9th to vote for candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, among other offices. Next week's victors then will run against the Republicans in the November 3rd General Election. These early Democratic primaries, unfortunately, don't have a history of attracting a decent voter turn-out. It may be that citizens stay home because they discount the importance of the June Primary.
Often the Black attitude has been that the June Primary is a vote between Twiddle-Dee Democrat or Twiddle-Dum Democrat, so it really doesn't matter who wins.
Nothing could be further from the truth this year, although on too many occasions, that attitude has been justified.
This year, three qualified men believe each can lead Virginia as the next governor during these critical times. However, only one will move full-steam ahead to challenge GOP candidate Bob McDonnell. That winner must be the strongest of the three.
We believe that man is Terry McAuliffe.
