Clinton announced over 30 endorsements from Virginia last week

Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Democratic establishment back Hillary Clinton's campaign

Gov. Terry McAuliffe and virtually the entire Virginia Democratic establishment have signed on to help the Hillary Clinton campaign ahead of the state's presidential primary in March.

In an announcement Monday morning, the Clinton campaign named the governor, both of the state's U.S. senators, every Democrat elected to statewide office and Susan Swecker, the chairwoman of the Virginia Democratic Party to its "Hillary for Virginia Leadership Council."

“Virginians are ready to work to elect a President in Hillary Clinton that will fight every day to make the economy work for everyone, not just those at the top and I’m looking forward to helping lead her efforts here” McAuliffe said in a statement.

“Hillary has laid out an agenda for strong growth, fair growth, and long term growth and her strong record of leadership has proven that she’s the right person to lead our country and get things done.”

considering she's been against legalizing pot in my state which is a huge issue here and widely supported. Colorado will go to Bernie.
Also considering that my Governor, John Hickenlooper recently expressed doubt about Hillary.....

Gov. John Hickenlooper on Thursday became the latest Hillary Clinton supporter to express doubt about her candidacy for president, telling a Denver audience that the 2016 election is “kind of grim, to be blunt.”
Unlike most Republican candidates, Hickenlooper said he believes Clinton has the necessary background needed to run the country.

“But,” he added quickly, “I don’t know where this whole thing is going to go in terms of her … (e-mail) server and whether there is something in there that is really going to turn out to have broken the law — which I think would be the death knell.”

His remark reinforced the anxiety Clinton supporters in Colorado are feeling given the constant controversy regarding how she handled classified emails as secretary of state. And he represents the second top Democrat in Colorado in recent days to voice such concerns.

You do realize that op was penned just 11 days ago, right?
People here don't like Hillary and remember, that whole email server issue is a local issue here.
