Is this why Terry McAuliffe lost the Democratic Primary in Virginia?

Well, I said if McAuliffe wins it would be GOTV, but obviously the Democrats of Virginia have just said, "ENOUGH of Terry McAuliffe!!!"

I don't know, maybe if he was more in tune with Virginians, than performing antics like below on morning joe during the primary season, he would have been taken more seriously. YES, that is alcohol in that picture.



Anyway, congratulations Creigh Deeds. He has a lot of work to do from now until the general.

Longtime Clinton ally and former Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe has conceded to state senator Creigh Deeds in the party's gubernatorial primary, calling on his supporters to back Deeds in his general election battle against Republican Bob McDonnell.

Terry McAuliffe looks like he is headed for defeat, ON PAPER

Al Rodgers had a diary up on Daily Kos last night about the eminent defeat of Terry McAuliffe's run for Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Man, I wish I could believe that, but I am skeptical. Highly skeptical.

The PPP poll for the Virginia Governor's race was released yesterday with Creigh Deeds leading in double digits. Now, we have the SUSA poll released today confirming Deeds double digit lead.

I am not a Terry McAuliffe fan. I think the man is a fair weathered friend, a bullsh*tter to the max, changes his course depending on the wind and highly suspect. But, he is a known entity to millions of Democrats due to his relationship to the Clintons. Do I want McAuliffe to win? NO.

The reality though is this, Deeds has the momentum, got a huge endorsement from Washington Post and is riding high now. The thing is that he let most of his staff go to wage an air war, at the time, which has helped him.

Winning elections is more about poll numbers, but a combination of things. Deeds has little or no ground support or ground game. GOTV (get out the vote) is critical for low turnout primaries/elections as the one tomorrow in Virginia. Deeds non-existent GOTV is the unanswered question here for any victory.

If Terry McAuliffe wins, it is because of GOTV and money. Simple as that.

This is why I never cared for Terry McAuliffe (Video)

Terry McAuliffe a staunch supporter of the Clintons, former DNC Chairman is now running for Governor of Virginia. I just can not shake the image and view I have of McAuliffe, the proverbial, snake-oiled salesman. The one with that same smile, with the same shits and giggles, the one who will shaft you if it is for the better of him. I hope the folks of Virginia or the Democrats who are voting in the primary sees through this salesman and back someone else. Just because someone has the most money, does not mean he/she is the right man or woman for the job. McAuliffe is the prime example of this.
