| Description | Crowds swarmed Gov. Terry McAuliffe at the free medical clinic in remote Wise County, Va., in July, and he worked them like a master politician.
“How’s that little baby?” the Democrat boomed at one family. Health care’s a mess, he thundered, “but we’re going to fix it. Darn right!” He hugged, he guffawed, he rolled up his sleeve to check his blood pressure (then bragged about the results), called people by name, prayed, prayed again and defied his handlers when they pointed to the clock.
The next day, Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam showed up. He is running to succeed McAuliffe, but it was hard to tell. Northam huddled quietly with a few leaders of the event, unnoticed by most. |
