VA: Longest serving Republican in General Assembly endorses Terry McAuliffe

From the McAuliffe campaign:

Virginia's longest-serving Republican former member of the House of Delegates Vince Callahan discusses why he is supporting Terry McAuliffe for governor. In the ad, Callahan underscores McAuliffe's commitment to focusing on jobs, while he says he "cannot support Ken Cuccinelli" because he will not keep Virginia "on the right track."

Ken Cuccinelli has spent his career putting his own ideological agenda first, including launching a witch-hunt against the University of Virginia because he did not agree with a climate scientist's findings, costing the school $600,000 in legal fees. As Cuccinelli tries to run from his extreme record, Election Day will show Virginia voters don't want to elect someone as governor who has spent his entire career prioritizing his own ideological agenda.

I have this urge to call my Republican ex-husband who lives in VA (when he's not at his place in The Villages in FL) and ask him who he'll vote for. He always said he voted for the person, not the Party! So glad I'm not still married to him!

It looks like McAuliffe is expected to win next week. VA has down ticket races the same time so I hope that works out for dems too.
