Polls are confirming Will’s assertion at the present time.

If the JournoList MSM types feel that they can influence the polls by their reporting, why won't Will do the same?

Why does Will right that "Cuccinelli is far from the best choice for Virginia?" That will only make voters believe it.

Does Will want McCauliffe to win?

So Will wants the democrat to win by not supporting a solid Conservative Republican.

The only wasted vote is the vote not cast and not a vote not cast for the winner.

9% cannot win, and could make the GOP candidate lose, but 9% is huge. It’s huge because people stand up and are counted they way they want to be. 9% also tells me that both candidates have serious flaws.

Terry will win simple because he has the apparatchiks behind him.

It seems like for Will, NOT supporting gay marriage (or as they now say — “marriage equality”) is a disqualifier.

George Will has been a RINO for a long time.

This goes far beyond RINOism.

Will is shilling for McAwful.

That is the Wenzel Strategies poll which definitly shows the race tightening.
But other polls show a much wider gap,

McAuliffe Leads Cuccinelli in Virginia Governor Race
October 24th, 2013 by Fritz Wenzel

OCTOBER 24, 2013 – A new Wenzel Strategies poll of likely voters in Virginia shows
the race for governor is a pretty tight contest, though Democrat Terry McAuliffe
continues to enjoy a small lead. It all depends on what the turnout is going to be,
and whether Democrats who turned out in big numbers last year for President Obama
come out again for McAuliffe.

There is evidence in the new WS survey that that will not be the case, as both
McAuliffe and Republican Ken Cuccinelli are not held in high esteem in the minds
of voters and more people are discouraged with the general direction of the state
than are encouraged. The Wenzel Strategies survey shows McAuliffe leading,
41% to 40%, with the balance of voters either favoring Libertarian
Rob Sarvis (10%) or undecided.

The Wenzel Strategies poll, using a turnout model that is closely balanced,
includes a sample of 28% Democrats, 26% Republicans, and 46% independent
voters. This reflects the swing-state tradition of Virginia that has lately
leaned toward Republicans in statewide, non-presidential years, but has
tilted to the Democrats in recent presidential elections.

Using a turnout model replicated by Quinnipiac University in its recent
survey, weighting the sample to include 33% Democrats, 25% Republicans,
and 42% independents or minor party supporters, McAuliffe leads with 43%,
compared to 38% Cuccinelli, 10% for Sarvis and 9% yet undecided. This
reflects a slight tightening of the race, compared to the Quinnipiac survey
that showed McAuliffe with a 7-point lead.

Wasn’t Cuccinelli the guy who went after The Mann for his gov’t funded CAGW krapola propagated from UVa?
