WINCHESTER, Va. (AP) - Terry McAuliffe and Ken Cuccinelli are both looking to make Tuesday's election for governor into a referendum on President Barack Obama's health overhaul.
McAuliffe planned to campaign Monday with Vice President Joe Biden a day after Obama weighed in, throwing national Democrats' full backing into the race. Cuccinelli, meanwhile, would be campaigning with Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and planned his final campaign rally with former Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, a hero of the libertarian wing of the GOP.
As the acrimonious campaign headed toward its end, the national health care law seems to be the major fault line for both candidates.
Seeking an upset, Cuccinelli pledged to continue his fight against the Democrats' national health care law. As Virginia's attorney general, he was the first to file a lawsuit trying to declare it unconstitutional. While the Supreme Court rejected his argument, he has not stopped his crusade against it.

Looks like McAullife is in trouble and they’re calling in the reinforcements.
Since when does a sitting prez and vice prez head to a dominantly Blue state for a mid-year gubernatorial election? I sense an upset. Fingers crossed.
Quinnipiac this morning has McAuliffe back again by 6 (was 4 last week), and PPP (FWIW) has McAuliffe up by 7. And I’ll bet the “media” will also pour on some “polling data” showing Fast Terry pulling away, to secure the narrative it’s going to be a blowout, and voting isn’t worth the effort tomorrow.
Virginians... vote anyway.
I have NO DOUBT Roberts was NSA'd -- and warned of it -- prior to that "ruling."
Polls serve ONE purpose...to manipulate people.
The problem for Cuccinelli is that there is a very large block of white middle class voters in northern Virginia for whome health care is not a issue. They are government workers from D.C. who live on the VA side of the line. They are not subject to the exchanges and never will be. So, they don’t care.
Slight correction: For 205 weeks out of every 208, they only try to manipulate. For the last 2-3 weeks every Prez cycle, they actually try to reflect opinion, so as to earn their cred - which in the polling industry is based almost 100% on Prez predictions.
It’s worse than that….those NoVa’s are cronies tied to some kind of extorting of money from the Fed Govt…JUST LIKE McAwful is. This is their boy.
Fingers crossed...prayers continuing...non-stop!!
Where those numbers with registered voters or likely voters?
This is one race that we can not be complacent about! McAuliffe is portraying himself as completely in line with the Obozo agenda. They may get him points in Northern VA, but I hope it doesn’t fly in the rest of the state.
Crossing more than fingers.
Joe Biden? Pffftt! Please - let him speak!
Not to worry, Odumbo has sent in the IRS to make sure an upset doesan’t occur.
Likelies.
