And McAullife is so corrupt he was under an FBI investigation in 2013 for violating campaign finance rules. In 2009, he was also charged by Ralph Nader who said he (McAullife) bribed him not to run for president in 2004 when he was DNC chair.

He is cut from the same cloth as the Clintons. Lifelong political lackey who has accomplished nothing.

Meanwhile, Youngkin is self-made and a political newcomer. The democrats have nothing to smear him for so they go undercover to try and get him to speak how he feels about what are actually personal issues.

It's fine to hold personal views that conflict with your politics. That's allowed in America.

"Youngkin is self-made and a political newcomer" Tired phrase, been used before, not too successfully either... remember how it worked out with the last one ?

Dude, he’s keeping quiet about it now because he knows he won’t be elected if he says what his plans are publicly. He told the person who asked him privately about it that once he’s elected, he’ll go on the offense. What do you not understand about this?

Going back to 2009 for an allegation with no facts, Nader ran in 2004......
We don't need "a political newcomer" and he's not the first candidate who is self made. You call it undercover how about deceptive that he talks out of both sides of his mouth. How long till he comes out as a full blown T-Party hack?

I can't figure out whether I find this latest spin more funny or more sad.

You think that Biden, a devout Catholic, supports abortion?

Politics and personal views do not always match. No Governor in Virginia is going to ban abortion, despite how they personally feel about it. So why all the fuss? Oh yeah, smears cause you got nothing else on the man.

Whether the current President supports Personal Choice is up to him as long as he is not driving the discussion one way or the other. As for a candidate it is a big deal because that is a hot button topic that will steer many voters either too or away from that candidate.

The man has never served in any government role and has no public history to be evaluated on so learning how he views things will be important. Its not "smears" but with the recent history of who the state GOP selects to represent the party there is concern that he's not just another hard line hack who subscribes to the former Presidents delusion or marches to the T-Parties songbook...

Just read online (and saw on the news) "Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin's campaign on Monday said that he will not attend the Virginia Bar Association debate this month over a past donation made by "PBS Newshour" moderator Judy Woodruff to the Clinton Foundation's Haiti earthquake relief fund more than a decade ago." Yeah that 10+ year old donation to help others is a slippery slope and obviously a reflection of ones political leanings....

But he'll attend a debate hosted by Liberty University because we know they are unbiased....

Glenn is a joke and a scaredy cat.

Only a weak candidate like Terry M needs to debate 10 times. All you really need is one or two debates, the rest is getting out in front of the public. Excessive debating is not a good strategy for a newcomer like Youngkin. He needs to continue to get his name out there more and campaign around the state.

His new ad ties Terry M to Trump actually, it's hilarious. Turning it back on him. We all know what corrupt politicians like Terry M do, they grease both sides and are only in it for personal and/or financial gain. He is the quintessential union mob boss. He is also a New Yorker who only lives in Virginia because he decided to make a career as a politician in D.C.

Youngkin was born and raised in Virginia. Born in Bon Air (outside of Richmond), grew up in Virginia Beach and now lives in Northern Va.


If the Democrats actually cared about the people they serve they would've gone with McClellan instead. She was a great person, I've met her personally and admired her despite the differences of opinion. Ain't anything to admire about Terry M.
