Terry McAuliffe, looking to fend off charges that he actively undercut Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, announced support Monday from Tom Daschle, Obama’s national campaign co-chairman and short-lived Cabinet pick.

The endorsement comes a day after former state Del. Brian Moran — McAuliffe’s chief rival in the Virginia Democratic gubernatorial primary — kicked off radio ads highlighting McAuliffe’s history of less-than-chivalrous politicking during his time as Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman.
