Romney lost in Virginia with 47% of the vote: See Link

That's less than Cuccinelli got in his run for governor.

Correction - should have said the spread between Cuccinelli and McAuliff was less than that between Romney and Obama.

Take a look at the raw numbers:

The election was too close to not blame Cuccinelli for the loss. Better fundraising, more thoughtful and diplomatic campaign, a candidate that didn’t fumble early and often, etc.

Compare his performance to Cruz’s. If Cuccinelli had hammered on Obamacare the entire time, he’d have pulled it off. If he hadn’t scared the GOPe, he’d have gotten more money. He looked sloppy and goofy from the start.
