Terry McAuliffe Loses Virginia Primary

What thrills the hearts of progressives everywhere. Terry McAuliffe badly loses the Virginia Democratic primary for Governor.

With 81% of precincts reporting, Deeds has 49%, McAuliffe 27%, and Moran 24%. Terry McAuliffe, the man who had the backing of the Clintons and had famously appeared on Morning Joe after the Puerto Rico primary, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and waving a bottle of rum to celebrate Hillary's win in that territory, has failed to break through in electoral politics.

Thanks to Youtube that video is on the internet.



Creigh Deeds will run in the general election against Bob McDonnell. Virginia was considered a swing state in 2008. Barack Obama beat John McCain by 6 percent of the popular vote. Virginia doesn't register voters by party. So it is hard know if the Obama factor will help Deeds.

Republicans: Don't Twitter and Secret Negotiate

Jeff Frederick (R), Virginia state legislator was really excited Republicans were going to take over the state legislature. Frederick had the bright idea to write about the secret negotiations on Twitter.

Big news coming out of Senate: Apparently one dem is either switching or leaving the dem caucus. Negotiations for power sharing underway.

Talking Points Memo reports Democrats find out and talked their person into staying in the caucus. Keep on twittering, Mr. Frederick.

Someone explain why people whom that can't Twitter should be taken seriously on the stimulus package?
