Time For True Virginians To Step Up

and stop this insanity. Unless you enjoy the idea of a sleazeball political hack holding the same office once held by Patrick Henry, Thoms Jefferson, James Monroe, and Henry Lee.

The Washington Post is running this story:

McAuliffe's Prowess As Fundraiser Grabs Spotlight in Va. Race

Already, McAuliffe is showing what's possible. Consider the courtship of Randal J. Kirk, a billionaire who has long been one of the biggest political donors in the state.
Brian J. Moran of Alexandria and Sen. R. Creigh Deeds of Bath, two Virginia Democrats running for governor, spent years wooing Kirk. But in mid-October, a newcomer to the Virginia political scene, McAuliffe, stopped by Kirk's Radford home to chat up his own potential bid.
Kirk, who has given Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) $660,000 since January 2006, had not met McAuliffe before. Yet they got along so well during their three-hour lunch that Kirk broke out the moonshine. "I wanted him to know where he was," Kirk
recalled.
During their meeting, McAuliffe did not ask Kirk for a campaign contribution. But McAuliffe made such an impression that Kirk did something a few weeks later that he said he had not done before: He called McAuliffe and pledged his support in advance of a contested primary.

Pardon me while I throw up.
