1. I just can't

get the image of him drinking rum in a Hawaiian shirt on Morning Joe out of my head.

[DangerousRhythm]

20. HAHA.

That was completely awesome. I laughed loudly when that happened. :rofl:

[ErinBerin84]

22. He always looked like he had just done a line.

[DangerousRhythm]

28. So true.

I gotta hand it to him... he was always amusing to me. Now, I don't know him well enough to know how good (or bad, as the case may be!) he'd be as a Governor, but he's certainly an interesting character.

[sfam]

2. After getting rebuffed in Fla and NY, he's settling for sloppy thirds...

As a VA resident, I'm not buying. I would prefer a governor who actually thinks of VA as his or her first choice. If he wins the primary I'm going to be really torn...my guess is independents (who have a huge percentage of the vote here) won't be torn - they'll be starting off in the repub column.

[wyldwolf]

3. I'll place a bet with you right now

If he gets the nomination (and I think he will), he wins easily.

5. You apparently don't know VA very well

Kaine and Warner both had something that Terry does not. The ability to reach out to rural working class, a bit backwoods southern boys in the western part of the state. Terry is too flashy and too slick to ever pull that off.

[GarbagemanLB]

6. The slime literally oozed off of him in the Democratic primary. God he is horrible.

[sfam]

9. Agreed...I would prefer he go slime another state...

Finally, when we have two Democratic Senators and a governor, I'd like to have some good vibes here for a bit...

[ShortnFiery]

11. Yes, one issue I can whole heartedly agree with you.

Baghdad Terry is about to be handed his political ass. Even those of us in Northern Virginia prefer "plain spoken" to "polished."

Too cool Wolsh! You and I are going to have a front row seat here in VIR-GIN - I - A. ;) :hi:

p.s. Oh you'll have to enjoy from afar (GA). We'll report back to YA.

[Joe the Revelator]

12. I need to get back ASAP. I've been exiled to Atlanta for two long years

I miss Norfolk with everything I have. Its one of the reasons I'm so bitter. :)

[eleny]

13. Yes, I doubt he's ever gone deer hunting with Jesus

;-)

[sfam]

19. If he wants to win in VA, its about time he did...nt

[sfam]

8. On what basis do you make this claim? Are you from VA?

I say this as a Northern VA resident. Northern VA will be more favorable to McAuliffe than anywhere else, and we here have doubts about the guy. My guess is he has REAL trouble making inroads among the independents. If so, he very well many be able to buy the Dem nomination, but his chances in the general aren't gonna be great.

Then again, its sloppy thirds after all, so I suppose some chance is better than no chance...

[gmudem]

30. He won't win either easily

Moran and Deeds actually know something about Virginia. McAullife probably thinks he get by with just NoVa, but he can't. He's terrible as a flunky, I think he'll be embarrassingly bad running for office.

[Joe the Revelator]

4. Boooooooooo

[Joe the Revelator]

7. Oh man, I watched the video, that affected southern accent is killer

Looks like any extra money I get this year is going to to go towards his primary opponent.


" Hia! Virginia haz been mah home for twanty yeauhs"

Shoot me.

[peace frog]

10. We need a "loser" smilie

This sums up his chances in Virginia (and describes McAuliffe in general).

[FrenchieCat]

14. That's one of those car salesman one can spot a mile away......

I don't see Virginians being hoodwinked or Bamboozled. They seem rather too smart for the Okey Doke to me. I think they learned their lesson finally after voting for Bush in 2004. I don't see them backing up anymore losers; which describes Terry McAuliffe to a "T"!

[book_worm]

15. I don't understand? is there some kind of huge tidal wave for Terry in VA?

isnt' there some state office holder who has dealt with voters in VA who would want to run in the democratic primary? Why Terry A?

[ShortnFiery]

25. No, only with some of the "connected" upper upper middle class in Alexandria.

The rest of us peons are less than impressed.

I'm voting for MORAN! :silly:

[sfam]

29. I'm guessing he has a few votes in the Great Falls area as well...nt

[ShortnFiery]

32. I'm not familiar with that area, but of course. It's not fair to stereotype an entire state.

Only some tendency for people to be "more politically liberal" near colleges. That's my right wing extended family's excuse for why I turned out an unabashed liberal pinko. ;)

[Connie_Corleone]

16. I just can't see how anyone would vote for a slick car salesman for governor.

If his lips are moving, he's lying. The guy is a scumbag.

[camera obscura]

17. Kaine, Webb, and Warner need to endorse Brian Moran and fast

I'm thinking "get a brain, vote for Moran" would make a catchy slogan.

[sfam]

18. "Vote for Moran, not the Carpetbagging Moron..." nt

[DCBob]

21. Is there an alternative?

Seems VA can do better than Baghdad Terry.

[sfam]

31. The alternative would be to choose an actual Virginian like Moran...

Or many others. We actually have a lot of folks living here.

[mod mom]

23. Why "Baghdad" Terry?

couldn't figure that one out. :blush:

[PM7nj]

24. Remember Baghdad Bob?

MacAuliffe acted just like him during the primaries. I think the night of the last two primaries he actually introduced Hillary at a rally as "the next President of the United States."

[DCBob]

27. I sort of enjoyed "Baghdad Terry" during the primaries.

He was entertaining.

[spanone]

26. terry is completely obnoxious enough to run for high office

[JI7]

33. i just can't see people taking him seriously

[Tatiana]

34. I hope VA Dems don't give him the nomination. I really really hope they don't. n/t

[renegade000]

35. I don't plan on voting for him.

Fortunately, he's got two solid opponents in the primary: Brian Moran and Craig Deeds, both from the VA legislature.
Unfortunately, he's got two solid opponents in the primary...so there is always the potential to win by plurality...
