Terry McAuliffe to Run for Virginia Governor
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/02/terry-mcauliffe-run-virginia-governor/

Terry McAuliffe, the former Democratic National Committee chairman and Clinton family confidant, plans to run for Virginia governor, FOX News has learned.

Democratic sources say McAuliffe will formally announce his bid in mid-November.

He has already lined up the backing of former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and sitting Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, who is prohibited by law from seeking a second consecutive term.

McAuliffe was Hillary Clinton's national campaign chairman during the Democratic primaries, and was a constant presence on the campaign trail. He was also a frequent surrogate for the former first lady on the media circuit.

The Virginia general election is in 2009.

4. If he has to listen to real people for a change
maybe he'll figure out why he's been completely wrong for the last 20 years.

8. If he does, he should have the decency to change parties first
Let him fuck up the Republicans for a couple of decades.
