That’s fair enough — too many were asleep at the switch. Many people I know, too many, were convinced McAuliffe was ahead by 14pts or more, and that it was hopeless. I tried to reason with as many as I could that it was much closer, and Cuccinelli could win, but even my conservative friends were mesmerized by McAuliffe’s lying tv ad campaign. I don’t watch tv, so I wasn’t impacted by that.
Lying about his lead was all part of the plan.
