This race has pretty much been Cuccinelli’s to lose. Barring a disaster, I doubt he’ll win by anything less than a 10% margin.
And if they knew more, they would have been out frantically trying to draft someone else to run.
I’m shocked that a WAPO poll shows the Republican with a 10 point lead (likely voters?).
Thanks to Obama winning history is on our side, 1973 was the last time the President’s party won the Governorship. My confidence for this race went way up when Bolling decided against an dependent bid. There was this one VA freeper who said Cuccinelli was certain to lose. Maybe he was a Bolling staffer.
McDonnell better run for the Senate, I don’t think we can beat Warner otherwise.
There’s a crowed GOP primary for LT Governor, RINO Tom Davis’ wife Jeannemarie Devolites is one of the candidates.
Cuccinelli has been working hard to lose it. From yesterday’s Richmond times Dispatch:
A Richmond judge Thursday let Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s office withdraw as prosecutor against former Executive Mansion chef Todd Schneider, but deferred a decision on whether to dismiss felony embezzlement charges against him until a new prosecutor can review the case...Further, Benjamin said other conflicts — including Cuccinelli’s belatedly disclosed stock holding in the dietary supplement maker Star Scientific and gifts received from its CEO, Jonnie Williams Sr. — effectively denied Schneider due process in the right to an “impartial prosecutorial process.”
Both Cuccinelli and McDonald are so mixed up with this Star Scientific it’s unbelievable. A company that’s under investigation by SEC and FBI.
I like your tagline.
It should be in Al Sharpton’s Tombstone :)
