In a statement released by Harris Miller's Career College Association, it appears Brian Moran may have fudged on his resume. While Brian may have finished in third place in a three way race, losing to Creigh Deeds by 26 points, that hasn't stopped him from padding his bona fides a little. The statement reads, in part:
In June of 2009, Moran resigned to run for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Virginia where he lost a closely fought primary.
Brian Moran resigned on December 12, 2008, a full 6 months before the primary when this statement claims he resigned. As for a closely fought primary race, Brian only pulled in 23.79% of the vote compared to Creigh Deeds 49.76% and Terry McAuliffe 26.43%. Did they mean to say closely fought for second?
The purpose of Blue Virginia is to cover Virginia politics from a progressive and Democratic perspective. This is a group blog, founded by me (Lowell Feld), but now including several other progressive writers. I can't speak for the other "front pagers," but I consider myself a progressive in the tradition of Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, RFK and actually a bunch of progressive Republicans (e.g., Jacob Javits, Lowell Weicker). As such, I believe in expanding opportunities to all, utilizing government as a tool to promote the general welfare and the common good, protecting the environment for ourselves and for future generations, and expanding the rights promised in our Constitution and Bill of Rights to all Americans.
I invite everyone to comment here, but please be aware that profanity, personal attacks, bigotry, and "trolling" are not allowed. Thanks, and enjoy!
