Racing for Richmond: Three Dems are neck-and-neck, but can they run all the way to the governor's mansion?

Racing for Richmond: Three Dems are neck-and-neck, but can they run all the way to the governor's mansion?

At first it was supposed to be a two-horse race between Delegate Brian Moran of Alexandria and State Senator Creigh Deeds. Then in January came a last minute addition to the running, former Democratic National Committee chair Terry McAuliffe, fresh off placing in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, leading the hard-charging campaign of then-Senator Hillary Clinton.

In the first turn, McAuliffe jumps out to an early lead with a multi-million dollar campaign effort, and appears to still be going strong. The latest SurveyUSA poll of likely primary voters found McAuliffe up 16 points over Deeds and Moran, but there were still 18 percent undecided!
