One way to find out would be to get a source who can nail down the number of fundraising events held by McDonnell vs Cuccinelli. I don't think it's astroturfing at all. It's actually the most plausible reason I can think of. A lot of pols don't like active fundraising, which involves essentially begging for money in person, with vague promises of political favors in the future. It's got an air of corruption about it, and some people don't have the personality for it. Straight arrows like Cuccinelli probably think of it as the moral equivalent of selling their souls in bits and pieces.
Did Reagan personally fund raise or did he have surrogates do it for him? Was there an effect on him personally if he did?

the national gop gave rhino Crony capitalist McDonnell 9 million in 2009 and Ken only 3 million in a off year election cycle ,
Bolling told one of the largest Gop pacs to donate to Terry Mvawful ,
Bolling was the Head of the Va Gop !
Bolling controls the state house and controls the stare funds so who do you think the Pacs and business groups would support !
Ken was cut off at the knees .
Your quoting some planted story to blame the victim of this Gop elite hit !
Wake up your spreading the rhino propaganda
