After calling the Virginia Democratic gubernatorial primary a statistical dead heat, Ed Schultz proclaimed that he told relatives in Virginia to support former DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe. McAuliffe already has been endorsed by Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell.

While no other candidate has received an endorsement from MSNBC, it should be noted that Brian Moran was the only one of the three candidates who elected to appear on today’s Hardball with Chris Matthews.

Will post video of Ed’s endorsement as soon as it is available.
