NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WTVR) A new poll put Democrat Terry McAuliffe seven points ahead of Republican Ken Cuccinelli in the race for Virginia governor. The Wason Center for Public Policy at Christopher Newport University poll has McAuliffe with a 45 38 percent lead over Cuccinelli.
The poll gives Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis 10 percent of the vote. More than two-thirds of those who said they were voting for Sarvis called their vote a protest vote against the major-party candidates.
[Snip]
Sarvis is particularly shaving the Republican vote: 37 percent of his voters say they would have voted for Cuccinelli if Sarvis were not on the ballot, compared with 17 percent who would have voted for McAuliffe, Wason Center for Public Policy Director Dr. Quentin Kidd said in a statement. The Sarvis voters dont like either Cuccinelli or McAuliffe, but they look like a net loss for Cuccinelli. The fact that Sarvis continues to poll around 10 percent, coupled with the fact that his supporters are becoming as firm in their decision as the McAuliffe and Cuccinelli voters, suggests that hes not going to fade.

libertarians are incredibly useful political “tools”, doncha know ....
I am a woman. If you only let married women vote, I bet results would be different.
Sarvis also wants to tax carbon emissions, and he has promised to do all he can to push "marriage equality" on our state.
Small government, my behind.
I was watching my local news the other night. It showed footage of a McAuliffe rally. There was some obese old broad in line, bright red lipstick smeared all over her face, braying, “Cuccinelli SCARES women!”
My husband’s aunt ran into a similar type up in northern Virginia; the aunt said to the woman, “Just how STUPID are you?”
I might get flamed, but if it would save the country, I as a woman would give up my vote.
I thought men had more sense than this. I’m disappointed in you guys supporting McAuliffe, because that’s what you’re doing.
More than two-thirds of those who said they were voting for Sarvis called their vote a protest vote against the "major-party candidates."
I'm assuming you would ban us from running for office too?
There is no way to deny that the libertarian candidate for Governor is not a true libertarian, he supports abortion rights and the homosexual agenda, and the libertarian position on most issues.
Is perfectly aligned with the entire platform, no, but there is no question that he is libertarian/lefty on the social issues.
Perot was also pro-abortion and anti-gun.
I am comforted by the fact that the Queen of earthly queens ( Shakespeare ) votes her convictions.
Shakespeare’s quote is of course the reason you are Catherine of Aragon.
That’s lovely of you to say. Thank you.
What is the quote?
Sorry I am an unlettered person.
I used to watch Shakespeare plays as a child when my mother was volunteering in a local theater group. I don’t know how many times I watched Macbeth...
Nope.
Correction. Gullible, frightened, low info women might support the corrupt Democrat. Do not lump the rest of us in that group.
Proudly supporting Ken Cuccinelli.
Libertarians need to know that Rand Paul has campaigned for, and Ron Paul has endorsed, Ken Cuccinelli, rather than the FAKE libertarian Sarvis.
Get the word out. Call a national talk show, or a local one in VA.
Yes, Savis is a plant/spoiler.
But the race is now VERY close.

Shakespeare referred to Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII’s first wife, as “the queen of earthly queens.”
I’m not a lettered person, either. I just love to read. :)
Please, dear Jesus, let it be.
Thank you, I love to read, too; just mostly non-fiction.
Of course, you are most welcome, but I have to admit I had my fingers crossed hoping you weren’t a guy lol
He probably wouldn’t have liked being called the Queen of queens; then again maybe not.
