Barack Obama's National Co-Chair, Sen. Tom Daschle, Endorses Terry McAuliffe

Monday, May 18, 2009

From former Senator (and former Obama for President national co-chair) Tom Daschle comes an excellent endorsement for Terry McAuliffe!
As the national co-chair of Barack Obama's presidential campaign and one of his earliest supporters, I was impressed by the time and energy Terry put into traveling across Virginia and the country on Barack Obama's behalf during the general election.

From the day Hillary Clinton ended her historic bid for president, Terry worked tirelessly to unify our party around Barack Obama and get him elected President. His energy and enthusiasm were tremendous assets on the campaign trail and we were grateful to have him on our side.

Terry has decades of experience creating jobs and turning around struggling businesses, including bringing the Democratic National Committee out of debt for the first time in modern history. I believe this experience makes him uniquely qualified to be the next governor of Virginia and I support his candidacy.

P.S. See here for more from NBC12. Also, see here for the Washington Post's take on this ("Terry McAuliffe, who has been hammered in recent days about his efforts to defeat Barack Obama in last year's presidential race, found a way to fight back today in a big way.").
