As a long time VA resident myself, I recently sent Ken Cuccinelli an idea for an ad to advance his campaign.
All he needs to do is paint Terry McAuliffe as someone that wants to make Virginia more like Maryland.
This idea will resonate among all Virginians, both democrats and independents.
He needs to exploit the culture clash that exists.
Yes - and emphasize that McAuliffe wants to take away our gun rights - as VA is one of the best states on its gun laws - open carry, etc.
