It's a sign of desparation! Not only are 80% of them in NOVA, 80% of those are in greater Alexandria (includes part of Fairfax County) but still Alexadria address. This must be his list of House of Delegates supporters? Still...a sign of desparation.

Jack or lantern, I agree that it's stupid, but it's hard to call it a sign of desperation when Moran seems to be winning, at least that's what the polls tell me.
Brian should be worried about Terry's ground game. Does Brian have any infrastructure in place?

The first name on the list is the best.
She garnered 638/2.59% votes to Connolly's 14,233 in the 2008 11th CD primary. Now that's some power.

It looks like Brian has adopted the 2004 Terry McAuliffe/DNC strategy - fuck rural Virginia. HUA!

This is their list of active volunteers....

Wow....I actually went to the list and saw the names and where folks were from. Moran has excluded supporters from the following Congressional Districts: 4th, 5th, 6th, and the 9th. WTF? Why is peddeling the NOVA v. ROVA hype here when he's gonna need the support of ALL Democrats in Va should he win the nomination? Stupid release, bad timing...divisive at best, a future peep into a forming a Moran NOVA centric oligarchy at worst.

The Democrats are in disarray this year, GOP will win this Nov.
Posted by: Stonewall Brigade | April 27, 2009 at 09:00 PM
To be fair, there are two indididuals on that list from the 9th Congressional District. Neal Osborne of Bristol and Jordan Butler of Radford.
The 5th Congressional District has a member on the list... Eugene Resnick, from Charlottesville.

" only 25 people on this entire list from the rest of the state!"
More than double that of McAuliffe or Deeds entire list?

Battle over the "grassroots"? What is this, the Frederick Affair Part Deux?
Posted by: Loudoun Insider | April 27, 2009 at 10:10 PM
And what even qualifies someone as a "grassroots leader"? I know several people on that list, and with two exceptions, NONE of them are people I would even remotely consider "grassroots leaders" or even any kind of leader. Does this mean if I e-mailed the Moran campaign right now and said "I support you" I could get my name on that list too?
This is really odd...

It's a pretty sad statement of his campaign. Even if it is a mistake and there are alot of other supporters, the fact that they were left out shows that they have little control over their campaign staff. I would hate to see a Governor who allowed his staff to do whatever they wanted to...can you see it?
Posted by: jack or lantern | April 27, 2009 at 10:59 PM
It IS a grassroots list. Just a different kind of "grass" is all!

your blog has a lot of time on it's hands.
these are people that do the work in their communities.
why do you care?
terry gets his money from out of state.
I know no one in my city committee that is for terry .
no one.

Laura, NLS thinks that if Terry McAuliffe can dump enough cash into your community with TV ads and mailers, he will change their mind and want them to vote for a carpetbagger sales-hack.
Posted by: Not Daddy | April 28, 2009 at 08:13 AM
Not Daddy, you realize that McAuliffe has lived in Virginia for a couple decades now, right?
Posted by: Not Hussein | April 28, 2009 at 08:36 AM
On one hand, it's "a" list and not "the" list of all of his supporters. That said, I think the list is rather worthless but not harmful to his campaign. They describe it as a list of grassroots leaders. 1) What the heck qualifies anyone for that title, and 2) I, too, noticed that many names I think should be on there are not.
A waste of electrons in his site but nothing that impacts his campaign.

this type of garbage is what happens when jesse ferguson is in charge of running your campaign for any length of time. since warner decided to run for senate instead of governor, all this campaign has done is piss away the advantages it had built from 2005 to 2007.
Posted by: wide pelvis | April 28, 2009 at 01:21 PM
grassroots is the people who work on the ground ,folks. work the precincts, canvass, run their committees.
and a very small amount of people will come out for a primary and those will be the grassroots.
and terry on that boat is hilarious!!! who is driving it anyway??
sounds like his campaign is "drifting"!
