VA-Gov: Terry Mac Forms Exploratory Committee

[ccharles000]

CNN:

Hillary Clinton's former campaign chairman filed papers Monday forming an exploratory committee to run for Virginia governor.
Terry McAuliffe was widely expected to make his decision after Election Day. The former Democratic National Committee chairman will now do a 60 day listening tour of the state.

Woof. Should he run, McAuliffe will square off against state Sen. Creigh Deeds and state Delegate Brian Moran.

1. Hopefully his campaign goes nowhere.

2. I don't think he would be a good choice

because he is seen as a political operative, and his ties to Virginia are not strong. Brian Moran, however, is a popular N. VA state legislator. I think he would be a better choice.

4. agreed. McAuliffe's campaign will threaten to siphon money away from Moran, I'm afraid

6. Let us know when Moran declares and we can help raise funds.

3. I don't know if he has the capability to lead.

He ruined the Dems when they should have been a strong opposition party. He's also representative of the past. We need new blood. And that means from the local to the federal level.

5. God, a Hillary-like listening tour? He can't come up with his own schtick?
