As a small businessman, I look at this hire, of the next governor of Virginia, as being perhaps the most important hire that we Virginians will make in a generation. We’ve got critical needs to address in transportation, K-12 and higher education and our economy that we have been delayed from addressing fully the past eight years by our libertarian Republican friends who can’t see beyond the noses on their faces much less see the damage that we’re doing to the future of our Commonwealth. We need to hire as our next governor someone who has the background that tells us that he will hit the ground running knowing that we don’t have a day to waste if we’re going to keep moving Virginia forward.I couldn't agree more. This election is crucial to the future of Virginia, and we certainly can't afford four years of Governor PatBob McRobertson. By far and away, Terry McAuliffe has the best chance of winning this election. He's running the most impressive campaign, has the strongest message, and is both the best fighter AND the best fundraiser. Case closed.
That’s why I’m endorsing Terry McAuliffe for governor. Because frankly, we don’t have the luxury of screwing this one up.
