Where was it shown that the Libertarian candidate was set up by Democrats? I do not think that was proven at all. If he was for any expanded kind of regulations he would have taken votes away from McAuliffe, not Cuccinelli.
Look, I think it is terrible that one of Obama’s biggest butt buddies is now Governor of a state that used to be a shining example of American values for decades upon decades. But letting allegations fly freely, I don’t think, really helps. What is needed is more galvanizing the conservative base - which I suspect did not turn out in full force tonight, more grassroots outreach to moderates and Independents and splitting the Democrat voting base among other parties too.

Answer:
It was revealed TODAY that apparently, a major Obama campaign bundler, Austin, Texas, software billionaire Joe Liemandt bankrolled the effort to get the Libertarian candidate on the VA gubernatorial ballot. [He made the single largest campaign contribution to Sarvis]
“If he was for any expanded kind of regulations he would have taken votes away from McAuliffe, not Cuccinelli.”
You are kidding....right? Tell me you are kidding. Libertarians are, broadly, for the elimination of regulation and government intrusion. Sarvis was against any decrease in income taxes in VA. He supported a plan to monitor, track, and tax individual car mileage.
from Breitbart: “On Monday, former Congressman and staunch libertarian Ron Paul (R-TX) campaigned for Virginia Republican Governor candidate Ken Cuccinelli and said Virginias would be giving up on liberty if they voted for Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Tuesday’s election and would be “insane” if they voted for so-called libertarian Robert Sarvis, the third-party candidate who may siphon enough votes from Cuccinelli to spoil the election.”
So Mr. Libertarian himself, Ron Paul (and, Rand Paul) campaigned for Cuccinelli, not the libertarian candidate.
