Why Unions Are Pouring Money Into Virginia (right-to-work state) & Why You Should Care "Union bosses and other out-of-state liberals–from Hollywood to New York–are pouring millions into the Virginia governor’s race.

They are, without a doubt, hell-bent on defeating Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and putting long-time Democratic party boss and fund-raiser Terry McAuliffe into the governor’s seat.

More than that, however, the Left (just as they are targeting Texas and other Southern states) may be using the governor’s race to put the final nail in the coffin for Republicans in a state that has swung from reliably red to almost-but-not-quite blue.

While the polls in the seem to be tightening from a McAuliffe shoe-in to a too-close-to-call (were it not for the Libertarian candidate), according to the Washington Post, Democrat McAuliffe has collected $8 million more than Cuccinelli.

In addition to Democrat heavyweights like Bill Clinton ($100,000), Hollywood heavy hitters like the Weinstein Co. ($25,000) and noted author John Grisham ($75,000), Planned Parenthood donated over $1.5 million and many other liberal special interest groups have sent McAuliffe six-digit donations.

Given the amount of big out-of-state money and extraordinary efforts union bosses and their liberal cohorts are putting into the race, one must question how the Left will gain from a McAuliffe win. Why are union bosses investing so heavily in Right-to-Work Virginia?

Last month, the AFL-CIO resolved at its convention to develop a Southern Strategy. The intention is not just to expand union membership but to expand their political influence............."

...Hollywood heavy hitters like the Weinstein Co. ($25,000)...

Did you see 'The Butler' at the movies? Terry thanks you for your most generous contribution.

Well, I certainly hope the VA R’s DON’T think this is a ‘stay home’ he doesn’t have a chance win...

Lets face it, if Cuccinelli doesn’t win by 10 they will ‘find, manufacture, fake, steal’ enough votes to eke one out.

Heard a rumor that BO is gonna skip on Macawful Sunday because he doesn’t want his ratings to go down.

If “BS” Bill C were aware of this turn of events etc he would have stayed home... Think the WAPO was ‘disturbed’ at the negative ads ...

That campaign has been scanning everything that any of the R candidates have said and if they can pull a sentence out of nowhere that is NEGATIVE anywhere but the article - if spun right...They pulled that on Jackson...

Some woman with a ‘Special’ child quoted a comment from Jackson about how God was punishing ‘us’ by causing floods and deformed children (close) and she rails on him. They even showed the copy of the letter book or whatever and sure enough that line is in it. Of course what you could read on either side of it shows the intent isn’t what they are trying to ‘sell’.

All 3 of them have been fairly quiet and the D machine keeps hammering away - FLOODING day time ‘Judge and I am sure the shows that have the women glued to the sets in the afternoon - really hammering on the 3 of them on abortion and birth control, gay marriage...again, taking snippets and using them as stand alone comments.....

In a sane country, Terry McAuliffe would be in prison for the numerous crimes he has committed. In our country, he will be the governor of Virginia.

Terry no longer needs to campaign. The votes have already been purchased. All he can do now is hurt himself so he should be avoiding any questions at all costs.
