Mike was endorsed today by the Richmond and Hampton Roads Voice Newspapers. Here's what they had to say about Mike: 

    "The frustration over the disenfranchisement of felons is something McAuliffe shares with our pick for lieutenant governor, A. Michael Signer.
    Signer, like McAuliffe, is a first time candidate for public office. He most recently was director of the Homeland Security Presidential Transition Initiative, a joint project of Third Way and the Center for American Progress. Just 35, Signer holds a Ph.D in political science from U.C., Berkeley, a J.D. from the University of Virginia, and a B.A., from Princeton University.  He is an adjunct instructor at Virginia Tech, and has served as the legislative aide to Deeds as well as a stint as deputy counselor to former Gov. Warner.
    We endorse McAuliffe and Signer because they give us the best opportunity to defeat McDonnell and current Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, who are both stuck in the extreme right of the Republican Party, which continues to alienate millions of moderate Americans with its divisive ideology."
