Two new polls sure to shake up the Virginia gubernatorial race suggest that longshot Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is mounting a last minute comeback, prompting front-runner Terry McAuliffe to bring in a big gun to keep his hopes alive: the original Comeback Kid, former President Clinton.
A new Wenzel Strategies survey of likely voters suggests a 1-point race, with McAuliffe at 41 percent and Cuccinelli at 40 percent. Other polls have given McAuliffe a double digit lead.
But Wenzel echos a new Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday showing McAuliffes lead shrinking to just 4 points.
Whats key about the Wenzel poll is that it built a turnout model based on how Virginia actually votes, weighting the sample at 28 percent Democrats, 26 percent Republicans and 46 percent independents. 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, they said.
This reflects a slight tightening of the race, added Wenzel.
The pollsters suggested that Cuccinelli's assault on the unpopular Obamacare is helping his case to Virginians. McAuliffe, who has embraced Obamacare, is spending the week campaigning with his mentor, Clinton, in a bid to get his side excited and show up at the polls next week.
Clinton and McAuliffe have been desperately urging voters to join their bid. "Terry needs us," Clinton pleaded in an email. "No one is running for president this year and we're still a year from the midterm elections. So some people might be tempted to think this election is less important than last year's. Don't be one of those people," added Clinton.
Most polls have found that voters are turned off by the gubernatorial race and generally dont like the candidates.
The Wenzel Strategies survey shows voters are split on both McAuliffe and Cuccinelli. While 45 percent said they have a favorable opinion of McAuliffe, 46 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him. For Cuccinelli, 47 percent hold a favorable opinion, while 50 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him.
You Vote for the new Governor of Virginia.
Your Vote is a referendum against Obama and Obamacare.
Your Vote is a vote against the Clintons.
VOTE for Cuccinelli and be a Winner!
Cuccinelli needs to keep hammering McAuliffe on the Obamacare debacle....w/ last-minute TV ads.....McA’s pals the Clintons tried to implement a similar mess 20 years ago....but were shot down b/c of the secrecy Hillary employed.
McAwfull has ten times the funds that Cuccinelli has——so start the avalanche of contributions to Ken....

=====================================================
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 three devils.
=================================================
(Snicker) the "dearly departed" are also McAuliffe voters.
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 dont 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, McAuliffes connection to Caramadre came to light via court records linking McAuliffes 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, McAuliffes campaign then said McA did not know the mechanic and doesnt know why they were listed as "acquaintances."
<><> NOTE: if official files were falsified to profit McAuliffe, that's a felony in any state.
I hope you are correct about Virginia. The last 5 years has me very cynical.
Haha look at that pic. And the left is selling the DUMMIES on the War on Women meme. Voters are by and large blithering idiots.
