“As for Cuccinelli? I think he was more of a lite-weight than most people imagined. ..”
Cuccinelli is no lightweight. Mega $millions from leftist groups, including Planned Parenthood, went to McAuliffe, and the GOP Establishment didn’t support Cuccinelli much, if at all.
McAuliffe had a big lead, and then ends up winning by only 2%, even with all that leftist money.
Also, some Obama character put up a FAKE libertarian, probably as a spoiler.
I’d say Cuccinelli did darn good, and if he had support from the Republican Establishment types, I believe he would have won.
I am involved in politics in VA. The RNC did not support Cuccinelli at all. Do not ever send money to the RNC.
I didn't see anything about the Libertarian being fake. The Libertarian party did nothing to disavow him, which is why those clowns should never be trusted.
The problem was the money. This was just like 1992 and 2012 when they used pac money to define Cucc over the summer and bankrolled a “third party” to muddy the waters.
If the national RNC contributed just a little more, this would have been a W for the good guys but they sat it out. Cucc was outspent 10-1 and I believe it will be even more when all the dust settles on the other races.
