Wilder and Obama

I’ll be on WRVA tomorrow morning to discuss Doug Wilder’s commitment to work on behalf of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

I can’t recall Wilder ever coming out this early to say he’ll work on anyone’s behalf, though it still puts him months behind Tim Kaine.

And say what you like about hizzoner — the man knows how to get out the vote (or at least Paul Goldman knows how to get out the vote for him). Should Obama become the nominee, itself a long shot owing to Clinton’s strength, having the Wilder machine working for him in Virginia and elsewhere in the South could sock the GOP in its electoral breadbasket.
