Sarvis is being financed by Democrats to siphon votes away from Cuccinelli. People who vote for Sarvis might as well be voting for McAuliffe.
The good news is that residents of the Old Dominion are (finally) waking up and realizing that Savis is nothing more than a stalking horse for McAuliffe. Today’s Quinnipiac has the governor’s race within the margin of error and if Sarvis wasn’t in the contest, it would be a dead heat.
Support for Sarvis (according to the poll) is also dropping. By election day, he’ll be like most Libertarian candidates, pulling no more than 3-4 percent of the vote. That gives Cuccinelli a real shot, although you can count on the WaPo or Virginian-Pilot (Norfolk) to run another “doctored” poll before the weekend, showing McAuliffe with a big lead, and trying to drive down the GOP vote.
