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.

Better yet, we better let them have the Lee family home, since it’s in the People’s republic of Arlington. We could also give them Fairfax, Prince William and Loudoun Counties, and the cities of Fairfax and Alexandria.

The lib-tards in Albemarle, Charlottesville, Richmond and the Hampton Roads area could be contained as long as Northern Virginia was not there to prop them up.
