  • “At meet-and-greets from small-town Leesburg to exurban Manassas to far-south Martinsville, he douses voters in an ebullient rain of proposals… McAuliffe’s ideas may be hard to beat.”

    – The New Republic, 2/4/09

  • “In the midst of a daunting travel schedule and after releasing truly ambitious business and energy plans for the Commonwealth, he still maintains an energy level that those of us ten years younger would be hard pressed to match.”

    – The Loudoun Independent, 4/1/09

  • “McAuliffe is rolling out a series of position papers on energy and business that go well beyond the typical two-page brochure full of bromides…his substantive pitches have raised expectations and pointed the way toward a different, more high-toned campaign.”

    – Richmond Times-Dispatch, 3/25/09

  • “Although many State House insiders were initially skeptical of McAuliffe, he has been running a nearly flawless campaign. Democrats and Republicans are taking him seriously.”

    – The Washington Post, 1/22/09

  • “Terry McAuliffe can get through to the (rural) culture. Like I said, he’s got a positive attitude. Terry’s also got high name recognition amongst Democrats who will vote in the primary. And McAuliffe is a good name to have out here where I live.”

    – Dave “Mudcat” Saunders
    Political strategist for Mark Warner and Jim Webb, 3/25/09

  • “Terry McAuliffe continues to impress – rolling out a detailed plan to revive the Virginia economy and picking up labor endorsements, the latest of which came from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.”

    – The Washington Post, 4/3/09

  • “He brings a kind of energy and visibility and presence that’s just extraordinary.”

    – Bob Holsworth, professor at VCU, 2/4/09
