Blue Commonwealth and Daily Kos blogger Ken Bernstein, aka "Teacherken," endorsed Mike Signer for Lieutenant Governor.

In his endorsement, Teacherken cited Mike's vision of the office of Lieutenant Governor and how he wants to turn it into a public advocate, and his intellect for policy and what it means to engage people in disucssions around the most critical issues.

Teacherken wrote:

"I would suggest that his willingness to engage in ideas invites the participation of others. It is that participation, that broadening of who gets to speak to the possibilities of new and different ways of doing things, which excites me about Mike Signer. And that is why, for whatever value my words may carry, I announce my support of his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia."

Mike called it a "beautifully-written, humbling endorsement of my candidacy."
