McAuliffe poll shock: Democrat up by only 4 points in Virginia governor’s race
Washington Times ^ | 30 Oct 2013 | Staff

Democrat Terry McAuliffe leads Republican Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II by 4 points in the Virginia governor’s race, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday — a considerably narrower margin than other recent public polling has shown.

The businessman and former chairman of the Democratic National Committee leads Mr. Cuccinelli, the state’s attorney general, 45 percent to 41 percent, the poll showed, with 9 percent of likely voters opting for Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis. That lead is down from a 46 percent to 39 percent advantage for Mr. McAuliffe in a Quinnipiac poll last week, when Mr. Sarvis was at 10 percent

Too many government drones in one area. The digital votes are most likely being manufactured already. /sarc

Having lived in Virginia for 3.5 years....this is the simple story.

Around Arlington and Fairfax, the vote is eighty percent Democrat. Within five years, I’m expecting a quarter of the vote in that area to go Green Party.

Once you clear that quarter of the state....Norfolk is sixty percent Democrat vote in every single election.

The rest of the state? About sixty percent Republican...sometimes even bouncing up to seventy percent in certain areas.

The urbanization of Virginia is something that no one expected two decades ago, and really goes to extremes. If you just look at the growth of Arlington since 1980s....huge surge, and mostly all urban young Democrats.

Beyond 2020, I don’t see any Republican being able to win in the state. The other upcoming issue is hostile feelings by the non-urban parts of the state, and the amount of state taxes that it draws in. There’s frustration building over the urban power, and where this leads in the future.

Nice stats. Is the race tightening b/c Rand Paul came to VA and told libertarians to vote for Cuccinelli....and not for the spoiler, Sarvis?

Better yet, Rand should get Dad Ron to tell Sarvis to drop out. He has no chance of winning. Sarvis is only enabling Clinton/McAuliffe to run rampant over Va....now....and in 2016.

Wheeler-dealer McAuliffe is ogling the VA treasury ....and the conniving Clintons are having wet dreams about Terry fixing the Va vote for Hilly come 2016.

VA voters who vote for McAuliffe are making a deal with the devil.

still not enough to overcome the voter fraud

The GOP should have offered a clear choice and run a real conservative instead of a big government progressive statist prosecutor

There is a reason that democRATs are pulling out all the stops in the campaign for McAwful. They most assuredly have internal polls that indicate a much tighter race than the media is indicating.

Just my thought, but Obama would not be planning on Campaigning for McAwful there if he were as far ahead as the
media would have everyone believe.

A Tea Party surge at the polls can now put him over the top.

Don’t forget Richmond. There were precincts in some of the “hoodier” parts of Richmond during the Allen/Webb Senate race where Allen did not get one vote. 100% Webb. The Richmond suburbs are purple-to-red depending on which parts you’re in, but the city itself is Rat to the core because of the large black population.

Parts of Virginia are still weird about how they vote though. I grew up in central Virginia (Amherst County) and during the ‘80s and ‘90s the Sixth District, which was reliably Republican every four years, sent a “moderate” Democrat (Jim Olin) to the House six times. Then when Olin refused to run for a seventh term, they put Bob Goodlatte in office and he’s been there ever since. Incumbents have a lot of power and respect still there.

Another instance of demoralization-through-false-hope? I'm still smarting from the 'Romney in a landslide!' predictions last November...

Don't forget---the "dearly departed" are McAuliffe voters, too (/snix).

TERRY, THESE GHOULISH THING REMIND ME OF YOU McAuliffe is apparently polling well---and prolly receiving mucho campaign cash---from the "dearly departed" b/c a lawsuit Democrats filed says “the [VA State Board of Elections] is rushing to complete the purging of dead voters in time to have the desired effect on the upcoming gubernatorial election.....to make sure that those who no longer live here don’t vote here."

(cackle) The "dearly departed" are also Hillary voters. Terry is 2016 Hillary's place-keeper. If elected, grave-robber Terry will fix the vote---dead or alive---for Hilly. (That's after he rapes the VA state treasury.)

=======================================================

DEAD AND READY Another shady example of how the connected ex-DNC chair, Obama suck-up, and Clinton confidant, mixes business with politics to profit himself....with the dead and near-dead as his victims.

<><>McAuliffe apparently lied to VA voters---according to McAuliffe's campaign, he invested $33,000 in the notorious Caramadre death fund and received $80,000 in return, a $47,000 profit. However, documents submitted in Caramadre's trial by federal authorities indicated that McAuliffe's profit was actually $114,000, or $34,000 more than McAuliffe admitted to voters.

<><> According to official RI court records, McAuliffe’s connection to Caramadre came to light via court records linking McAuliffe’s investment directly with the terminally ill, ailing mechanic; official forms identified them as "acquaintances" (apparently a requirement to allow McAuliffe to cash in).

<><> When the irrefutable court records surfaced, McAuliffe’s campaign then said McA did not know the mechanic and doesn’t know why they were listed as "acquaintances."

<><> NOTE: if official files were falsified to profit McAuliffe, that would be a felony in any state.

He is up because of the large number of liberal Marylanders who have relocated to NoVa to escape the high taxes of the Peoples Republic of Maryland and who now vote in Virginia elections (and who are now turning NoVa into a carbon copy of high-tax Maryland).

Another two weeks of Obamcare coverage and Cuccinelli would be 4 points ahead.

Beyond 2020, I don’t see any Republican being able to win in the state.

Their ancestors are rolling in their graves, lamenting over 'Old Virginia' ...
