Bill Clinton and Terry McAuliffe in Herndon

Wednesday, May 13, 2009

The following is a report by Mary Lee Cerillo from the Bill Clinton and Terry McAuliffe event this afternoon in Herndon. I'll get some of her photos up shortly, and also will have a report from the Annandale event, which I attended. There were hundreds of people at both events, not sure if I'm going to venture a guess at crowd size but a McAuliffe campaign staffer told me 300 signed in to Herndon and 450 to Annandale.
The event today was fabulous. Weather was picture perfect. Crowd was lined up to get into the event as far as the eye could see. President Clinton spoke about what it was like when he was a Governor and the abilities that it takes to govern a state. He praised Terry McAuliffe and felt that he would be a fabulous governor for Virginia. Delegate Ken Plum spoke to the crowd about why he is endorsing Terry McAuliffe and feels that he has the best chance of winning in November. Terry expressed the importance of bringing jobs to Virginia and stated that he would work hard everyday to achieve that goal. I was glad I was able to attend and was pleased with the turnout and enthusiasm with the crowd and union members.
