And third world immigrants. Parts of Northern Virginia are now heavily populated by immigrants, legal and otherwise. And it's a center of Jihadist activity too.
My gut feeling is (which could be wrong but I don’t think so)
is that Cucinelli lost because he came across as too conservative on social issues. Women voters and border line independents have a knee jerk reaction against socons. People are generally dumb on what issues really affect them in real life. Personally I was not born a Christian, but Christians of any stripe are just fine with me so long as they are conservative on fiscal, military and immigration issues. But then I consider myself smarter than average haha.
