The importance of Leftist candidates winning has a new incentive recently added in. These offices bear the sole responsibility to defend laws being attacked in the courts by the Left. With their compliant stooges installed, the stooge can just refuse to defend any law/constitutional amendment in place that they just happen to disagree with, such as the marriage amendments or laws were abandoned in California and Pennsylvania, to be defenseless against tyrannous courts.

This will happen much more often, in other areas.

It just shows the Wenzel strategies polls was probably correct.

Good, but don’t get complacent. The Dems will do everything in their power to win. Just a reminder from an Obama Country (Cook County aka Crook County) FReeper who has seen a lot of shenanigans.

The fix and fraudulent ballots are in.

Are you suggesting a fellow with the spotless record of Terry McAuliffe would...cheat?

Damn right the fix is in.

Wenzel's 1-point margin, Zogby's 4.5-point difference, and now this. Today at noon, EDT, Rasmussen releases its numbers on this race. Prepare for some nasty buzzkill, as that poll has been all over the map.

I’ve not seen one McAuliffe volunteer in Central Virginia. I’ve knocked hundreds of doors in my area and Cuccinelli voters are nearly 10 to 1. There was one McAuliffe Sign and one Sarvis sign in all of my door knocking and even the people I talked to that are voting McAuliffe don’t like him where as some GOP are a little sour on the race the vast majority of GOP votes are positive votes. I just looked at the internals in this poll. Ken’s voters are much more enthusiastic with 53% strongly favoring him compared to McAuliffe with only 39% and Sarvis a weak 22%. That 14 is a 14 point enthusiasm gap between Cuccinelli and McAuliffe and if that remains till election day I think we win it but there is still work to be done. I’m going out again today and then tonight I’ve been invited to a meet and greet with Ken.

Ras hasn’t been very good lately. Polls aren’t going to stop us. This thing is ramping up and the Obamacare fail is putting wind in our sails.

Another lady said that she had been undecided until she saw a news report that Obama was coming to campaign for McAuliffe.

I hear that Obama's going to campaign for the Democrat gubernatorial candidate in NJ, by appearing at a fundraiser for Christie.

The winner will be whomever gets his voters to the voting booth


Still looks like a rainy forecast election day - bad for RAT turnout.

Al Franken forces better get their Buick with the trunk full of pre-completed ballots on the road.

Don't worry, I won't and a think a lot of other volunteers wont’. The polls are showing us down so people are putting in more of an effort than I've ever seen.

Pray for us all.

Sarvis seems to be drawing pretty evenly between the two candidates; note the 47-45 without him, vs 45-41 with him. Not a lot of difference there.

The key is which candidate can peel off their voters from sarvis, while sarvis still draws from the other candidate.

This poll is a little bit of welcome news, compared to other polls.

On the other hand, all the polls are pretty consistent — McCauliffe never gets above the 45% number, even though he gets most of his democrat party support. Ken’s numbers bump around wildly in the polls, which shows his problem, but also shows that a lot of the “undecideds” are likely to vote for him.

That is one way to interpret the two polls in this article. Each shows McCauliffe at around 45%. The one has 14% undecided with Ken at 31%. The other has 5% undecided with Ken at 41%. If you think of the 2nd poll as “pushing” the undecideds to make a choice, virtually ALL of them chose Ken.

If they push the Sarvis voters, they split evenly. Because Sarvis is pro-abortion and pro-gay-marriage, he does draw the votes of the younger voters who don’t like McCauliffe because of the “occupy” effect (Terri is seen as part of the evil 1% ruling class corporate types, actually moreso than Ken).

So if the republicans will come home to roost (and if they don’t I put the blame on our current Governor and Lt. Governor who aren’t doing anything to help), I think Sarvis actually helps a bit.

He’s scared enough he made a deal to get Obama in to try to assauge the black voters who still hate McCauliffe for how he trashed Obama in 2008 trying to get Hillary elected.

Also, the race had been close before the shutdown. During the shutdown Ken’s numbers went down, due to the backlash (we have a large federal workforce). With the shutdown ended, that anger is easing, especially now that all the feds got essentially paid vacation time.

I really think that the daily train wreck called Obamacare is becoming a big factor in this race. Its adding to Jim’s momentum.
