My daughter lives in VA and seemed to display a cetain antipthy towards Cuccinelli. I think she eventually voted for him, or the 3rd party candidate (same as voting for McCauliffe.)
For some reason, women in VA did not like Cuccinelli. I’m guessing that it was a combination of the McCuliffe hate campaign ads and the fact that Cuccinelli does not smile a lot. I think that lo-info women find a broad, easy smile on a candidate very appealing, and they are more willing to trust a candidate with a big, sappy grin.
Many women wanted the right to a dead baby, however and whenever they want it... Cuccinelli isn't down with that idea.
Yes, their mothers liked GA Jimmy’s disappearing grin after 1976. But oddly Carter lost VA both times.
