Loudon County, a bellwether for the past 4 election cycles, is already going for Moran in the 2009 Governor's race. Yesterday at the Old Loudoun County Court House, Democratic leaders gathered to publicly endorse Brian Moran for Governor. The Washington Post's Loudon Extra spoke with some of the Democratic leadership in attendance.

"Loudoun is the key to victory in Virginia, and Loudoun Democrats know Brian Moran can win here," said Kelly Burk (Leesburg), a member of the Board of Supervisors. "We have to make sure that the Democratic nominee can win decisively in Northern Virginia and the suburbs. That's what it takes to win."

The officials represent about two-thirds of Loudoun's elected Democrats, including members of the Board of Supervisors, School Board and Leesburg Town Council, the Leesburg mayor and state legislators.
