Any recent (i.e, post-shutdown) polls in this race? The shutdown seemed to hurt Ken in Northern Va., but I’m wondering if that turned around in the past week.
If VA defeats Ken and lets in this buffoon then you can count on homosexual marriage, and the election in 2014 and 2016 going to the left which will make VA now a blue state and basically republicans will never win another Pres election.
Ted Cruz was outspent big time by DoWorst, who also had the GOPe support big time. Working to get the message out can beat the money, Cruz proved it. Virginia conservatives that are OK with not doing SOMETHING besides sit on their can will need look in the mirror if McAwful gets elected.
Actually the latest polls show a narrowing again but we need to close 7 points minimum though a considerable chunk are still undecided.
I fear it is too late. The left has already defined him and they haven’t even run any counter ads.
But at least we have the guy on the ballot that wants to make pot legal.. I fear VA will be yet another victim of the protest vote.
And then there was this...
Cuccinelli shuns Cruz limelight
he sure didn't do himself any favors in snubbing Cruz.
Virginia is lost.
If things are as you say, then Virginia will get the government it deserves.
I am probably the dies-hardest Cruz die-hard, but in some areas like around DC with gubmit workers, Cruz may not be well accepted........ yet.
Ah come on now. That ain’’t the sky falling, chicken little. Never exclaim absolutes as opinions.
Go Ken!
well years ago people had an opinion about homosexual marriage and said no way and look at where we are, liberals are pushing for homosexuality drugs legal, and open borders and a smaller military
He deserves to be governor. Not that sleazy McAuliffe Clinton worshipper.
VA is now a purple state (and has been for more than 8 years) trending blue (Democrat). It was red, but immigration and domestic migration have turned it purple. It will be solid blue within a decade.
No Rep will win VA in a Presidential race for a very long time in much the same way that CA will vote Dem for generations in terms of Presidential races. Hillary will take VA easily in 2016.
Mcawful has already stated that he WILL institute NY style gun laws... he will ban everything.

That is not true. Where are you getting your information?
Virginia is lost.
Ken is fighting an uphill battle in a purple state turning blue. The rapidly changing demographics of NoVA have given the Dems the decided edge in statewide elections. In 2009, the turnout of Dems in NoVA was at historic lows. That is not going to happen this time.
And the current LT Governor, Bill Bolling, is miffed that he wasn't the nominee. Bolling stepped aside in 2009 to allow Bob McDonnell to run with the understanding that McDonnell would support him in 2013. Bolling is pissed at Ken and so are a number of prominent VA RINOs. Adding to that problem is the McDonnell scandal on gifts from donors.
This will be a turnout election. Ken is a great grassroots candidate who must break even as much as possible in NoVA to have a chance. And Ken must get a big turnout from the rest of the state. Ken's chances of winning are slim, but he still has a chance. Every FReeper in VA should get to the polls to support a real conservative.
he sure didn't do himself any favors in snubbing Cruz.
Personally, I thought it was a bad move, but for many Cruz has become a lightning rod. No doubt Ken believes that he should steer clear of Cruz lest he motivate NoVA voters even more. McAwful has been running ads against Ken associating him with Cruz. Obviously, McAwful's advisers believe this is a good strategy.
Not possible as long as the Reps retain control over the House of Delegates, which they will by an overwhelming margin.
Republican Party local chairmen in central and southwest Virginia, who have had ZERO coordination with Cucinelli's moribund organization.

Spare me the excuses. Cucinelli has ignored the rest of the state, and so there is NO enthusiasm for him, nor any motivation to get out and work for him. Moreover, his miserable campaign has left McCauliffe's nasty attack ads and smears almost completely unanswered. It's one of the worst state-level campaigns I have ever seen.
Absolfrickingutely! The only chance Virginia has is the Republican legislature. Let’s hope events turn out better in Richmond than in Washington.
