Good Kos Diary on who is supporting McAuliffe for VA governor:
McAuliffe has lost it
by Mike Stark

I'm not convinced Terry McAuliffe ever had any sound political (as opposed to self-interest) instincts, but ifthis does not show how out of step he is with the current Democratic Party and its newly enthused rank and file... well... nothing does.

Here's an excerpt:
On Thursday, March 24, the BGR Group plans to host a fundraiser for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Terry McAuliffe. That "B" in BGR, by the way, stands for Barbour, as in Haley, the Republican governor of Mississippi who also happens to be the vice chairman of the Republican Governors Association, which is aiming to take back the statehouse in the Old Dominion this year. The "R" in BGR stands for Bush 41 White House aide Ed Rogers, who is listed as one of several co-chairs of the McAuliffe fundraiser. Recommended minimum contribution for the event is $1,000.

On the flip, I've got much more.

If you did click through, you found a page with a link to a pdf of the fundraiser invite. There, you'll find these hosts:

Beth Dozoretz • Steve Elmendorf • Joe Eyer • Adam Goers • Jonathan Mantz • Michael Meehan • Dennis O’Brien • Diana Rogalle • Ed Rogers • Jim Smith • Mike Smith

2. i wasn't a fan of McAuliffe even before reading this
unless the GOP run the most extreme of zealots (which they could very well do), McAuliffe would get killed in the race since it seems the only Virginians he is familiar with are in the D.C. suburbs and the big wheels in Richmond...

6. Thanks for the tip as I live in VA. Should have known given how close to
Clinton he is. Oh, not Hillary. The NAFTA-signing Clinton that helped sell this country down the river.

8. McAuliffe ruined any chances he ever had during the primaries
He showed just how crazy he is and it was pretty scary.

9. I live in VA and cringed when I first heard this jerk would be running. We don't need or want him
here. Period. We need another great Democrat to run against this DLCer creep. Fuck him and his GOP allies. They probably think this is the best way to return VA to the red column. rec'd

10. If this guy wins Virginia
then something we have not done our jobs.

They will never sleep until they take back what they perceive as
theirs, and the is POWER.
