Barack Obama to campaign for Terry McAuliffe
Pollutico ^ | 10/28/13 11:06 PM EDT | Alexander Burns

President Barack Obama will campaign for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe this weekend, giving a late boost to McAuliffe as he seeks to energize core Democratic voters in an off-year governor’s race, Democratic sources told POLITICO.

Obama is set to appear at a Sunday afternoon get-out-the-vote rally in Northern Virginia. It will be the president’s first campaign appearance for McAuliffe, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

McAuliffe’s campaign has been working to activate many of the same voters who carried Virginia for Obama in 2008 and 2012: young people, independent women and African American, Latino and Asian American voters. Some of those groups – particularly young and nonwhite voters — tend to participate at lower rates in non-presidential elections.

I see this as good news for Cuccinelli. For starters, Obama's popularity is on the decline, especially with the ObamaTrainWreckCare roll-out. But it also shows desperation on McAuliffe's part. If he really had as big of a lead as the press is saying, then he wouldn't need to take this risk.

Not to worry. The illustrious king hussein will offer everybody one of mcasshats wind/solar powered cars he’s building in some other state. Or not. If they ever build one. Maybe they should name it the Bilker.

Way too early to tell. Lonegan did lose. By a smaller margin than expected, but Obamacare's negatives weren't enough to get him a win. Still, I think the media's decision to publicize problems with Obamacare may lead to Dems staying home and independents turning out to vote against Democrats. We'll see...

Most likely they are trying to get in on the big win. Too bad it will mean the end of the Coal Industry thanks to all those DC commuters who own the state.

Pray America will wake up

B/C the Mrs wont let Ohoho smoke indoors, he must be living in the WH backyard----puffing away as the O/Care news grows more dire. Ed Henry oughta take a look back there. And when the Washington Redskins report seeing WH "smoke signals"....that's a clue (cackle).

What Cuccinelli has lacked in his campaign is the flexibility to react quickly. Here is a perfect example. He needs to tie McAuliffe and Hussein at the hip with every disaster out of the WH. And have them on the airways before the week is out. Heck you could do it with a simple Venn diagram by showing the huge overlap between the two on every piece of crap out of the WH. ACA, and war on coal are some easy ones that come to mind.

I’m glad he still has time to squeeze in some campaigning around his destruction of the country.

I thought McAuliffe was up 12?
so why is this necessary?
Does obama just need a chance to eat burgers and fries?
