Virginia Firefighters to Endorse Terry McAuliffe?

Monday, February 16, 2009

This is certainly intriguing:
...the Henrico Professional Firefighters Union has a statement on its website saying the state association will make its endorsement of McAuliffe official on Wednesday at the State Capitol.

"President Mohler has notified the other candidates that we are endorsing Terry McAuliffe ...We need as many members there as possible," the announcement states. "We have a goal of assembling 200 people (please bring friends, family or anyone else willing to come.) We will have the yellow and gold trademark t-shirts for people to wear. I understand that Terry will be filming this event as part of a television ad that he will be running throughout his campaign."

An official with the Henrico Firefighters Association confirms the announcement will take place Wednesday morning. Mohler was unavailable to comment. Delacey Skinner, a McAuliffe spokeswoman, declined to comment.

If it takes place, the firefighters endorsement could be a huge boost for McAuliffe's campaign.

That certainly would be a big-time endorsement for Terry McAuliffe, no doubt. Stay tuned...
