Ex-DNC Chair Loses Dem. Gubernatorial Primary in Virginia
---------------------------------------------------------



In Virginia, State Senator Creigh Deeds has defeated former Democratic
National Committee chair Terry Mc Auliffe in the primary for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Deeds will face Republican nominee
Bob Mc Donnell in November’s election. Mc Auliffe lost despite a
high-profile candidacy that included campaigning from former President
Bill Clinton. Mc Auliffe recently faced controversy after consumer
advocate Ralph Nader said Mc Auliffe tried to bribe him to stay off the
presidential ballot in 2004.
