Hope Democratic governor Mcauliffe is on the phone to get these seemingly clueless Virginia Dems to understand that if they don't come together and back Northam the repugs get in.

It's not rocket science. What is up with the numbskulls?

It brings back the 16 bitterness and will dampen voters enthusiasm for the Democrat since Donna Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #11

I know and I have supported them for years...they are dead to me now...they sent me an text about Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #12

Strong move. I hope they get the message for their unfathomable non-support of Northam brush Nov 2017 #13

Obama is on the phones. I got a call from him yesterday supporting Northam, Fairfax, and Herring. FSogol Nov 2017 #14

Great. brush Nov 2017 #19

Is his endorsement contingent upon a position in the DNC or elsewhere? no_hypocrisy Nov 2017 #9

He endorsed for LG. He is one of those very concerned people. NCTraveler Nov 2017 #10

Unrec: This story is just intended to bash Northam on the day before the election. FSogol Nov 2017 #16

Agree totally. Kingofalldems Nov 2017 #17

That's illogical. Concern for endorsement failures & attacks on Dem Party is not bashing Northam. nt Honeycombe8 Nov 2017 #21

Endorsement failures? Does everyone endorse everyone? No, why bring it up? FSogol Nov 2017 #24

Remember when Wilder didn't endorse Obama? FSogol Nov 2017 #25

Wilder endorsed, & campaigned aggressively, for Obama. Honeycombe8 Nov 2017 #26

In 2012, he called Obama a disappointment and went to a Romeny fundraiser. FSogol Nov 2017 #27
