Some more interesting news out of the Virginia Democratic primary today. Yesterday's poll numbers showed Terry McAuliffe with a sizable lead over state Sen. Creigh Deeds and former Del. Brian Moran for in the race to be the Democratic nominee for governor. The news sparked a good discussion here about the politics and policies of the three candidates. Today's news will hopefully keep the chatter going, as Creigh Deeds just the Washington Post's endorsement for the June 9 primary. Full disclosure- I am supporting Creigh in the primary.

Read the whole endorsement here.

I've been a longtime reader of Daily Kos, but until today, I have never felt compelled to write a diary. The reason? The upcoming Virginia Democratic gubernatorial primary between Fmr. Del. Brian Moran, Sen. Creigh Deeds, and Terry McAuliffe.

It started Friday afternoon. I got a robocall on my cell phone from the VA League of Conservation Voters president declaring the group's endorsement of Terry McAuliffe. I turned to my co-worker, an Alexandria native, Moran constituent and supporter to inform him of the news. Given Moran's and Deeds' records on conservation, we agreed to disagree with Va-LCV, shrugged our shoulders and sighed.

Then on Saturday, as I jogged around town I saw the signs. Signs on every piece of public right-of-way as far as the eye could see. Sunday was the last straw, another robocall- from a hip-hop DJ inviting me to an Arlington club to see will.i.am and you guessed it Terry McAuliffe. This was starting to get out of hand.
