President Obama to campaign for Terry McAuliffe

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.

The Democrat currently has held a consistent polling lead over his Republican opponent, state Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. A Washington Post survey published Monday found McAuliffe 12 points ahead of the GOP nominee.

Both candidates have turned their attention in recent days to firing up the party faithful ahead of the Nov. 5 vote.

Here comes Obama to take credit for a Virginia victory. Are you going to sit back and let this happen or are you going to do something? There is still a lot of doors to knock and calls to be made.

Well that should be the “kiss of death” to ‘McCauliffe’s campaign.

Given Obama’s previous track record, I guess this means we’ll have to get used to saying “Governor Cuccinelli.” At least I hope so...

I take this as meaning McAwful is on the ropes and they figure if they're going to lose anyway they might as well let President Trayvon have a go at it.

Will you please take those pictures down?

They're creeping me out.

I have never seen more insincere smiles in my life (the Clintons excepted).

Sheesh, I thought enough time had passed. Nope, I still feel like I need a shower after seeing McAuliffe’s face.

Exactly!

Pehaps he can laud ObamaCare while he’s doing it...

That should help.

They must have figured it wouldn’t hurt McAweful, and that he’d win, and by winning would give the media the chance to say 0 nudged McAweful over the top. Good press for 0.
