As the Democratic base gears up for the consequential elections in 2012 (at the Presidential as well as State levels), we must remain vigilant and consider the next round of elections. In Virginia, The GOP already has two well-oiled, well-funded, and extremist-oriented candidates ready to carry a general election banner for the Governorship. By contrast, Virginia Democrats have zero candidates declared for the 2013 Gubernatorial race. Rumors are still abound of the intentions of Mr. Terry McAuliffe and Sen. Mark Warner, but as of yet neither has declared a clear stance. Whether or not either of these two gentleman seek the Democratic nomination for Governor of Virginia, the fact remains that the Progressive base is not fired up for a choice for Governor. That must end. Virginia needs a candidate to excite that base, to return Virginia to the Democratic column and to fight back against a far-Right agenda which demands vaginal probes and attack universities for having anti gay-discrimination policies. That man is former Congressman Tom Perriello.
