Comments on: Why I’m supporting Brian Moran: He’s been there http://vbprogressives.com/2009/03/16/why-im-supporting-brian-moran-hes-been-there/ National, State, and Local Politics Affecting Virginia Beach Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:57:38 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Joel McDonald http://vbprogressives.com/2009/03/16/why-im-supporting-brian-moran-hes-been-there/comment-page-1/#comment-66 Joel McDonald Wed, 29 Apr 2009 23:09:52 +0000 http://vbprogressives.com/?p=647#comment-66 McAuliffe's supporters have gone way to far in their attempts to discredit or skew Moran's record. The reality is that Brian has led in moving Virginia forward. The House of Delegates has long been a barrier to progressive action, and Brian worked hard to shift the balance of power. His leadership has brought us much closer to being able to see some real action with the House than we've seen in recent history. Brian Moran worked with the governor to bring jobs and economic growth to Virginia. Unfortunately, that has been shadowed by the global economic decline. I really wish McAuliffe was president right now. He seems to have this magic wand in his back pocket that is going to make jobs appear out of thin air. McAuliffe has no experience and public service, and his business experience is highly questionable. He knows people want jobs, and that's what he's promising. From what I've seen, he doesn't actually have any better plan than any other candidate. As for the latest 16 point lead...we'll see. Many are questioning the sample and methodology of the poll. It's an outlier, and outliers typically indicate some sort of error. McAuliffe’s supporters have gone way to far in their attempts to discredit or skew Moran’s record.

Brian Moran has surrounded himself with the same old shop worn supporters who have failed to advanced even timid causes around here for decades. Moran's record is boringly vanilla. He has not brought jobs or progress to Virginia despite his time in the House. He was not a leader who accomplished anything because he could not lead on issues. His campaign is nothing but negative because he has nothing upon which to compete other than his big brother's name. He has run FROM the House hoping that he will not be associated with the reality that he accomplished astonishingly little in his tenure there. Terry McAuliffe is 16 points ahead for a reason. People believe that Terry will work for THEM to get all of Virginia working again. With Terry's energy and vision, the Democrats can maintain the State House AND capture both the House and Senate. Then Virginia will begin to reach its true potential as a generator of new jobs, leadership in new forms of energy, and become an international gateway for shipping, high-speed rail and aviation. Virginia needs New Energy. We need Terry! well, evidently the majority of people polled about this race do not agree with you.

Looks like a mini-Obama website like everybody else's. Curious as to why Brian Moran’s website is a mistake. Looks like a mini-Obama website like everybody else’s.
