Terry McAuliffe for Governor (New Journal and Guide)
New Journal and Guide
June 4, 2009
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.

Virginia's next governor should be able to truthfully tell Virginians that he is doing everything he can to help them navigate these troubled economic waters.
Only three of the four men running to be governor can be trusted to tell the truth on the issue. They include State Sen. Creigh Deeds, former Del. Brian Moran and former DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe. All three are Democrats whose final face off for the governorship will take place during Tuesday's Democratic primary. The victor will go on to face the Republican nominee for governor, former Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell.
The VOICE editorial team met with Sen. Deeds and McAuliffe recently, and we like both their plans for bringing jobs for Virginia, focusing on green economy and energy renewability, sprucing up Virginia's education system and public transportation as well as ensuring that our teachers have incentives to stay put, among other things.
While we believe that all three Democratic candidates will do a better job than McDonnell, we are confident that McAuliffe is the strongest candidate to beat McDonnell in November. In addition, we know that he will continue laying the groundwork for sensible spending and fairness that fellow Democrats, Governors Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, have laid in Virginia over the last eight years.

Ministers Endorse McAuliffe
Gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe was joined at a press conference this morning by area ministers in Hampton as they discussed their support for his campaign. Citing his commitment to Virginia families and Virginia values, good jobs and a good salary for every hardworking Virginia, a quality education for every Virginia child, and protecting those who are vulnerable with policies, such as a proposed ban on predatory lending, that set him apart from every other candidate, the group offered their enthusiastic support of McAuliffe's candidacy.
"The job that Terry's involved in, he gives it all his heart, and that's what we need here in Virginia," said Bishop Rudolph Lewis. "That's why I've been supporting him because I feel the same way about reaching out and touching people. The people that I believe he helps most are the people that we are trying to help."

McAuliffe for Governor
Richmond Free Press
May 28, 2009
In considering our endorsement for governor in the June 9 Democratic primary, our foremost objective is this: To keep up the Virginia momentum for President Obama’s audacious program of hope and change. In order to achieve that goal, we believe we must elect the strongest Democratic candidate with the ability to defeat the Republican candidate in the Nov. 3 General Election.
In the presidential election, Virginia took a huge progressive step when it voted for Barack Obama and contributed to his historic win for the presidency. The president’s win in Virginia marked a phenomenal break with the past. It marked the first time in 44 years that a Democrat had won over a conservative Republican candidate. A more noteworthy fact: Virginia, with an indisputable awful history of pervasive racism voted for President Obama, signaling a convincing break with the past. That break sent an unbelievably welcome message – that all Virginians can be treated as equals.
We must keep up this momentum of hope and change: not only for Virginia, but for the future of the nation.
The General Election will be a referendum on the progressive policies of a president who, in just four months, has made awesome strides to clean up the mess created by former President Gorge W. Bush, with the fanatical support of the likes of Virginia Republicans Eric Cantor, Bob McDonnell and Bill Bolling. These are old Harry Byrd-type politicians who can see no good in the enlightened, effective performance of President Obama. They are servants of the rich. They are the cold, heartless opponents of the poor and average citizen.
