Republican Party local chairmen in central and southwest Virginia, who have had ZERO coordination with Cucinelli's moribund organization.

Simply not true. Cuccinelli has been many times in central and southwest VA. He has hit the coal issue hard. FYI: Southwest VA is sparsely populated. Cuccinelli will win that area easily.

Republican candidate gubernatorial Ken Cuccinelli visits Southwest Virginia

You seem to forget that Ken has been the AG for four years. He has name recognition in every part of the state and has been everywhere in the state. Again, who exactly are you talking about? Give me some names.

Spare me the excuses. Cucinelli has ignored the rest of the state, and so there is NO enthusiasm for him, nor any motivation to get out and work for him. Moreover, his miserable campaign has left McCauliffe's nasty attack ads and smears almost completely unanswered. It's one of the worst state-level campaigns I have ever seen.

Are you a resident of VA or PA? Cuccinelli has not ignored the rest of the state. Turnout will be key. Ken needs his base to turn out like they did in 2009. McAwful has twice as much money as Cuccinelli.

FWIW: Learn how to spell Cuccinelli.

No he hasn't. Maybe a time or too, but that's about it. Since then he's had his butt stuck in either Richmond or Northern Virginia. And his debate with the sleazeball wasn't even advertised there. My dad, who's interested in the campaign, wanted to watch the debate but was shocked to learn that it had already happened. It ticked him off pretty good. And SWVA is NOT sparsely populated. There are enough folks there to turn the tide for him if they turn out, but so far, he has given them NO motivation to do so. It's the Romney strategy all over again---take the voters for granted and they will flock to the polls for you. It's not going to happen.

No, he doesn't despite what his yes men are telling him. I'm talking about the local Republican chairmen in Southwest and Central Virginia---I help run a Facebook page for Conservative political issues in SWVA, and the chairmen we've been in contact with are simply pulling their hair out over the incompetence of Cuccinelli's campaign and neglect of their areas. There is NO coordination with them, and the messaging has been tepid at best.

I live in PA because of job but my family homestead is in SWVA---I own property and pay taxes to both Commonwealths. However, I'm involved a heckuva a lot more with my family in SWVA and the political issues that affect them, like Obama's war on coal. McAuliffe's handed the Cuccinelli campaign a veritable wealth of material with which to hit the Rats over the head, but the campaign has refused to use it, much to everyone's frustration and confusion. There's just been no fight there at all.

If you have a direct line to Cuccinelli, you need to get on the horn to him and tell him to get his butt out of Richmond and on the road, 24/7, between now and election day, or else, he's going to get blown out of the water.
