Democratic primary still a tossup Date published: 6/7/2009
Some of the top issues and major differences in the three-way Democratic primary for governor Tuesday: ECONOMY All three candidates are stressing job creation as a top priority.McAuliffe promises that as governor he would beef up the governor's fund that helps pay for luring companies to Virginia, and that he would focus on luring large corporations and businesses with well-paying jobs. He also says encouraging "green" businesses is a good way to grow the economy.
Moran agrees, touting green business in his own jobs plan. He also says small businesses should get more encouragement and that the state should make it easier on small businesses. Deeds says transportation and education improvements are critical to creating and keeping jobs in Virginia. ENERGY, ENVIRONMENTDeeds wants to provide more McAuliffe talks a lot about renewable-energy jobs. He favors offshore wind farms, and limited exploration for gas offshore, Moran, too, supports alternative energies and offshore wind farms, but opposes offshore oil and gas drilling. He wants energy-efficiency standards for state buildings, and promises to increase land preservation efforts. EDUCATIONMoran wants to expand pre-K Deeds says he has a 10-year plan to create 70,000 more degrees McAuliffe also says he'll invest McAuliffe has made a point Deeds continues to push bipartisan redistricting, an issue he has worked on for years as a legislator. Currently lawmakers in the majority party draw the legislative-district lines every 10 years after the census; Deeds wants that job to be done by a bipartisan, appointed panel. Moran says he would work to More details can be found on the candidates' Web sites: McAuliffe: terrymcauliffe.com/issues Moran: brianmoran.com/issues Deeds: deedsforvirginia.com/issues
He apparently has a few financial scandals to his credit as well. That's just what we need, right? I just love these Clintonites who love to shop for a state that will have them and then run for office as if they are the only one who can be elected to govern a group of people for which they have nothing in common. Many in Virginia are dumb enough to vote for him. That's the really pathetic thing. Some are so ignorant and brainwashed, they actually vote for these carpetbaggers. Complete and utter fools...
just what virginia does not need
Even though he is the outsider, and gets his campaign money from outside the State. A non-Virginian can be a good Governor sometimes.
I would suggest if you don't even know how to spell McAULIFFE's name, you need to do more research.
Brian Moran is the true pro-business candidate in this race. He wants ALL businesses to succeed not just the imaginary ones he "created".
I will be voting for MaCuliffe because he
represents the person that can bring more
jobs and business to Virginia. He is already a
national figure and has made jobs his battle
cry!!!
