Long Line Gathers For McAuliffe, Bill Clinton In Dale City

Editor's note: This story will be updated Sunday evening with more details from the event. 
Well before Virginia gubernatorial candidate Democrat Terry McAuliffe hit the stage in Dale City on Sunday, a long line wrapped around the building of the VFW Post on Minnieville Road where he spoke along with former President Bill Clinton.

The two were in eastern Prince William County for the, "Putting Jobs First" event, which started at 12:30 p.m.

Organizers say about 400 people gathered for the ticketed event. Before Clinton and McAulffe took the stage, the crowd was addressed by: McAuliffe campaign volunteers Terron Sims, Hala Ayala; Del. Charniele Herring, chairwoman of the Democratic Party of Virginia; Congressman Gerry Connolly; Sen. Mark Herring; and Kellie Blair Hardt, a local teacher.

Dale City resident Eleanor Garrett said she came to hear McAuliffe speak to determine if she will give him her vote.

"For me it's time for a change," she said. "He's got a good lead and once I hear what he has to say, then he'll have my vote."

Her husband, Willie, who also attended the event, said McAuliffe already has his vote, because he surely isn't going to vote for Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccincelli.
