I am very proud of President Clinton for coming to help Terry. Terry did a great job over the years for both of the Clintons and now they showing their appreciation for his loyalty. I can't wait til I get a chance to vote for Terry. He is qwesome and will make a great governor. His enthusiasm is aways contageous.

I, for one, am sick of the Clinton's in politics!!! The only reason they are still involved in politics is to continue to hide their dirty deeds and filthy greed concerning the Whitewater affairs. Hillary STILL HASN'T turned over all the documents the FBI requested on her dealings and financial gain from the Whitewater affair. I hope Bill Clinton's involvement with McAuliffe really shows the people of Virginia just how unethical they are (Clinton's AND McAuliffe). It's time for a change in politics in the United States, for when crimes are committed and the perpetrators are not held accountible for their crimes due to politics, well, America is suffering...

T-Mac is the man!!! I now live in Virginia Beach and I will be canvassing for him. He is going to make a great governor. I wish I could take off work Monday and head to Richmond. I went to that Jefferson Jackson dinner and Terry Mc was very inspiring. President Clinton gave a great speech that night too. I have his bumper sticker on the back of my car. Go Terry, Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McAuliffe would do well to consider what happened to Bill's wife's campaign after Bill added his political "expertise" to it.....

Michelle from Colorado, I firmly believe that if President Obama had inherited a situation closer to what President Clinton inherited then he would probably be closer to what President Clinton was while he was in office. Please give the President time to fix what's broken and then improve upon that.

I hear you all. Here is what I struggle with; Terry really did and said somethings during the primaries that I really don't know that I can overlook. These things go real deep into his make-up, I don't know that he is the right person for Virginia. I am from California so I don't have to contend. But the fact that he is a democrat is not in itself a qualification for a "win", even if Barack were to campaign for him. Perhaps the reason he isn't. Goodluck Terry, you are really going to need it.

"Of the $4.2 million he raised during the first three months of 2009, more than 80 percent of it came from out-of-state donors, many of whom McAuliffe knows from his years of involvement in national Democratic politics."
It is this kind of political fund raising that undermines the ability of the people of VA. to elect someone who is from their community. How do the people of VA. get true representation when the people running will be beholding to all of these large campaign contributors from outside the state?
What if a candidate gets funding from some foreign nation, China, Russia, Europe, the Middle east, should we the people allow outside influence in deciding who our government leadership will be?
"We the People" need true campaign fund raising reform, so we can once again have a government of the people, by the people, and FOR the people.

I find myself disgusted with Terry McAuliffe. However, I also cannot stomach a GOP victory in Va when President Obama won that state. The lesser of two evils is Terry McAuliffe.

BTW, to you ppl who use President Obama's middle name, the fear mongering is over, deal with it, we have a guy with a funny name, as President Obama calls it in the white house, who cares!! The name matters none, his policies will get the country back on the right track.

@Candy
I can agree with you on one thing I would not vote for McAuliffe as he is ruthless and glorfies power however I am so sick and tired of some of you Liberals always categorizing thinks all Republicans love hate and not God. Where does your mind get these facts? Just because I dont agree with you on issues does not mean I am not a Christian, i can dislike but in your world the only definition that you see on "dislike" is hate. I have loads of friends that represent all parties and when we disagree we dont HATE each other, we disagree and still remain friends. I can see why the world is like it is, people like you are so close minded and opinionated that you cannot see someone's point of view and think outside the box.

Chi Town give it a break, is it President Obama's fault they took a picture of him taking a swim. Jeez, I guess the guy should swim in a suit.

Many comments for this story have been slamming Terry and his "antics" during the 08 primary. Can someone please provide 2-3 specific examples of what he did that was so bad or specific examples os what he may have said?

To Furious in VA:

If you want a true Virginian as Governor, vote for Creigh Deeds. The state senator from Bath County understands what folks in our part of the world need.

Let the race begin.......here come bit BIG hitters.

Sounds like a couple of slime balls hitting the road to pick up some stray women doesn't it. Just like old times.

Why would Bill give this McAuliffe guy $10,000 when Hillary was still (allegedly) in debt with her campaign?? Remember, charity begins at home and stays there.

Anyways, $10,000 to the Clinton's is just chump change, coffee money.

“As a former Governor and good friend of Terry's, we think the President can speak to Terry's experience creating jobs and how that will help Virginia if Terry is in the Governor's office," McAuliffe spokesman Lis Smith said.

What Jobs has Terry created??????????

This morning when I read about David Kellerman, acting chief financial officer of troubled lender Freddie Mac, found dead in Va. home.......

I remembered how the folks in the know during White Water kept turning up Dead!

We are living in VERY strange times again!

Maybe they should just take off their shirts... The Dems could through dollars at them... seems to work for the super star

As it stands, Republicans are still in nowhere land politically. while I'd like to see a qualified Democrat take the prize away from any Republican in any state, I hope McAuliffe is a Clinton Democrat and not an Obama Democrat. I am not an Obama fan at all.

@ Sam Sixpack, who said "So what if the economy is tanking faster than ever. "

So what if the current economic facts and evidence suggest otherwise? So what if the words coming out of your mouth have no factual foundation on which to stand or basis in reality? So what if you're just repeating what your GOP masters programmed you to believe? Here's a hint: if you want to be hypercritical and all doom-and-gloom, that's fine...your choice...but you might want to make sure that you're not just fabricating things first.

Come on Virginians, at no time should we vote/elect Terry McAuliffe as our next Governor. This person did some mean things during the Presidential primaries and now he is in it for himself. The man knows absolutely nothing about Politics and what we Virginians need and deserve in our next Governor.

Look at who he is bringing in to support him. Do I need to say more? Of course now he'll need President OBama and his supports to rally behind him to win the nomination of his party. Vote for Moran if you really want someone to lookout for our best interests. I am proud to be a Virginian, but will NEVER vote for Terry McAuliffe. I'd rather vote for Bob McDonnell if Mr. McAuliffe receives the nomination from his party.

To Sam Sixpack and others; is there really a need to post the word "hate" in your blog? That's what's wrong with many folks who speak in this manner. Why is it folks have to use that word. I always remember being taught that "hate" is a strong word and to use caution when using it in a sentence. Perhaps you need to be careful in the future and stop spewing all of your hatred. We need both parties to work together regardless if you're a Republican or Democrat. Do you really think Governor Kaine is doing a good job for us??

who cares?

Bill Clinton lost Virginia twice and Hillary Clinton lost the Virginia primary to Barack Hussein Obama.

Terry McAullife can't buy a state.

I am a proud Democrat who will vote for Creigh Deeds in the primary. However, if Brian Moran wins the nomination, I will proudly support him. With that being said, under no circumstances will I vote for Terry McAuliffe in the general election. This man represents everything wrong in the world or politics. He flashes his money around like Donald Trumph, and runs his mouth as if he were royality.

If McAuliffe wins the primary, its the beginning of the end of the "blue movement" in Virginia.

One slimy guy (Bill) campaigning for another slimy guy (McAuliffe).

They are peas in a pod.

Want to see two good reasons why Hillary lost. Look no further.

Just curious why Terry McAuliffe needs to raise money for his campaign? I seem to recall he made millions "selling stock" in advance of Global Crossing's collapse, leaving a lot of shareholders with nothing, just as happened at Enron. This guy is a crook extrordinaire, but all is ignored or forgiven, I guess, since he's a Dem.

Mari( maybe one of my comments will be posted) – not to worry, I would vote any dem in before ANY rethug.

Agree with Candy – his actions during the presidential campaign were shameful and embarrassing. He's in it for the glory, and that's why he's bringing in all the outside money and politicians. We need someone who cares about the Commonwealth, not about himself. Vote Moran or Deeds, please.

They going to follow their leader and talk about change ? LOL

All that matters is we blindly hate Republicans. So what if 98% of the stimulus money is going to fat, greedy, rich people? So what if the economy is tanking faster than ever. As long as we join together in our blind hatred of everything Republican, it is worth it. Off with their heads!

I didn't like the way he behaved during the Primaries either, so either find another Democratic nominee or get over it because we don't need any more repuglicans in power. And as bad as he was, he ain't got nothin on a Republican. I have an idea that would win him more support...he should apologize for his divisive behaviour that he exhibited during the primaries.

I could never vote for Terry McAuliffe. But I could vote for firing whoever writes these trite and often incorrect article titles.

@ Candy W. Virginia........... I agree with you. McAuliffe was despicable during the primaries and now he needs Obama voters to support him. Let this be a lesson to politicians, be fair because you just might need your opponents votes!

Please, consider 'holding your nose' and voting Dem. I would vote for McAuliffe any day than give the GOPers a victory!

Terry McAuliffe had a completely demoralizing affect on the 2008 campaign. I found his antics and words in the midst of the fight for electoral votes repugnant. He has a noticeable mean streak with words to match that renders him useless in consensus building. As a native Virginian and long time Democrat he would not get my vote.

That's just what Southwest Virginia needs – another governor who ignores us and stays in Northern VA – and that's exactly what we'll get!

Uncle Bill is a burden not an asset. Hillary is twice the woman that he is a man.

As much as I respect the Clinton's, I just can't vote for Terry. He ran a presidential campaign that left HRC in debt. If that's how he ran a campaign, I can only imagine how he'll run a state. Sorry, but I'm voting for Moran.

Thanx Clinton!!

I am a PROUD liberal democrat who NEVER votes republican because I have a conscience and I love God not hate, etc. which is all the repugs promote. That said, I could not bring myself to vote for Terry McAuliffe, his antics during the primaries were shameful and loathsome, they reminded me of republicans.

Virginia will be blue for many years to come.The population there has become more educated and not a fifth grade state anymore.
