there have been some NRA ads, but I don’t think they are putting massive amounts of money into this. Cuccinelli just seemed to have bad timing, his pro-life stance, GOP gifts scandals, the shutdown and the librarian in the race are killing him. Normally someone like Terry M would not be anywhere close, but they are throwing out all stops this year.
If if Terry M wins, the GOP will still hold the State House and the State Senate will still be tied. Nothing like getting rid of CCW has a chance of getting thru in a Pro-Gun state like Virginia. Gerrymandering works, that is why they do it.
