man I would cry with happiness if Cuccinelli pulled off the ultimate tortoise and hare comeback here. McAuliffe is the quintessential hare napping under a tree while Cuccinelli is the tortoise plodding ahead while fighting off the pack of jaguars and eagles that is the MSM looking slaughter and eat him for lunch. I guess prayers up that we get a perfect fable ending here.
All I know is this race is tightening. Even the polling is reflecting this trend. The biggest question is turnout. If you figure typical off year election turnout Cuccinelli & McAuliffe are tied even with Sarvis in the race. Sarvis appear to be getting only 3% of the vote in early vote so that suggests he’s going to be a much smaller factor on election day and every poll shows his voters are the weakest supporters. Every poll also shows a majority of Cuccinelli’s voters are clearly voting for him while a whopping 40% of McAuliffe’s voters are simply voting against Cuccinelli. This could be a big problem for McAuliffe on election day because in highly negative races many times these types of voters simply don’t vote. The latest polls are also showing McAuliffe’s negatives spiking. Ken tried to run a positive campaign but McAuliffe decided from the beginning to run full force negative just as Obama did against Romney. The key is getting people to the polls. If you live in VA or near Virginia stop by a campaign office and make some phone bank calls.
