Don’t see much use in looking at the 2012 numbers instead of 2009’s.
Cooch had to spend what little money he had in the big districts. He had nothing to spend in the areas that vote Republican.

Fascinating shift: James City County voted for McDonnell over Deeds 66-34 in 2009, but Cuccinelli over McAuliffe only by 51-42. #VaGov”
This election was all about M-O-N-E-Y, and the big pocket government cronies gave McAuliffe plenty.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Cooch was outspent by 3 to 1.
“Wouldn’t surprise me if Cooch was outspent by 3 to1.”
Think it was 45 million to 19 million.
Well I can tell you this from looking at the 2012 numbers. Cooch picked up about 2% over romney in the outback and maintained in the urban flotsam. He coulod have won if GOP money had told McAuliffes story in the urban areas which would have heold down his vote or moved it to Sarvis. You’re aabsolutely right about the money and the GOP owns that lock, stock and barrel. I hope everybody here knows it and spreads the word. Defund the GOP. Fund Conservative groups.
Assuming McAwful does indeed win, that is where the election was lost.
The GOPe refusing to spend money or help mount a meaningful get out the vote campaign was nothing short of sabotage.
