Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But this year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
Top Dem Governor: Ken Cuccinelli Makes Romney's 47 Percent Tape Look Moderate
By: Ruby Cramer, Buzzfeed
The chair of the Democratic Governors Association, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, called Virginia’s Republican gubernatorial candidate a Tea Party radical who makes “Mitt Romney and his ’47 percent’ comment look moderate.”
Shumlin, whose role at the DGA has made him a player in this year’s two governor’s races in Virginia and New Jersey, singled out Cuccinelli in an interview with BuzzFeed as a candidate whose conservative policies would make more moderate Republicans weary.
“Look at moderate Republicans like the Virginia lieutenant governor Bill Bolling,” Shumlin said. “He knows what Ken Cuccinelli is. Go to Virginia and ask him how comfortable he is with Ken Cuccinelli.”
Asked if he would describe the candidate as more radical than the state’s current Republican governor, Bob McDonnell, who has given Cuccinelli his endorsement, Shumlin said, “Oh god, yes.”
