WASHINGTON, D.C., November 5, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – According to recent polls, pro-life stalwart Ken Cuccinelli is within striking distance of Planned Parenthood-backed rival Terry McAuliffe in today’s Virginia gubernatorial race, despite being massively outspent and out-fundraised.
According to the most recent figures, while Cuccinelli managed to raise some $20 million during the race, Democrat Terry McAuliffe has raised $34 million, or 70% more than Cuccinelli, while McAuliffe has outgunned Cuccinelli on TV airtime by a whopping 10-1.
Favorites of the Democratic Party have come out in force in support of McAuliffe, including the SEIU, NARAL, Planned Parenthood, the National Education Association, the AFL-CIO, other labor unions, the League of Conservation Voters, and other global warming groups. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun organization, Independence USA PAC, has also jumped into the race.
Meanwhile, Cuccinelli’s financial backing has largely come from the Republican Governors Association ($8 million), the NRA, and the pro-life Susan B. Anthony group (at least $1.5 million), as well as some support from the Koch-backed Americans for Prosperity.
While Cuccinelli’s support has largely come from social conservatives, McAuliffe’s backers have invested millions of dollars across the political spectrum. Several environmental groups, including the Sierra Club, have spent a total of over $4 million, including $464,000 from Sierra Club directly. Planned Parenthood has sent over $1 million, and Bloomberg’s organization reportedly on target to spend some $2 million. The Democratic Governors Association put $6 million into McAuliffe’s campaign as well.

I have prayed twice today for Ken Cuccinelli and Virginia and that the wonderful state of Virginia be spared mcawful and everything he and his ilk would bring down upon Virginian’s.
Dear God, please watch over Virginia and Ken Cuccinelli and bless the great state with Ken Cuccinelli as the next governor — He will bring honor to you and your name and the great state of Virginia. In Jesus’ name, amen.
what happened with that Libertarian? Did that idiot stay in?
Dear Lord God, Please work a mighty miracle in Va today we pray. Greater are you than the lies of the devil and of evil men. In Jesus name we believe, amen.
Yes.
“what happened with that Libertarian?”
Something about a snowball and somewhere warm...
If it is close McThief will win by the fraud votes.
This election will be about turnout, not the Libertarian candidate.
Thank you so much. Amen.
Turnout will be low enough overall that an enthusiastic response by conservative voters alone can turn this.
I believe that, too.
How any Democrat could be motivated by a LIAR and his LIAR buddy is beyond me. I think Cuccinelli will be AlFrankenated but I’m praying for a miracle.
With the amount of money sent in to McCauliff from Obama’s friends and LaRaza support, illegal voteres and the election fraud the DEMS now own through corrupt machines and immoral voting poll workers....not sure about our chances.
Ken said at the rally with Mark Levin on Saturday that he’s been outspent in every election he’s run in and won.
Sorry, hate to say it but Va. has joined the ranks of NY, Mass, Ca. et al. Too many fed employees there to overcome.
Yes, and voters from foreign lands who expect the government to make them happy.
Looks like the GOPe is underfunding Conservative Republicans.
Which is why they can go pound sand next time they come calling for my hard earned $$.
