Real simple why McAuliff won:
1. Northern VA is built & bought with billions of Fed money, taking over more and more northern counties;
2. Dems sent in tons of money from out of state. All spent on lies about Cuccinelli. Someone said the money was 10 - 1.
3. Dems paid to get Sarvis to run as Libertarian and bleed off conservative votes. Smart. Evil - but smart.
4.. Our current gov. really hurt the “conservative” brand, is a RINO, and took personal favors from a VA company CEO bringing on a state scandal, wounding Cuccinelli.
5. Media blames Repubs for gov. shutdown - and most of Nova is gov. employees OR gov. contractors who nurse at the gov. tit.
The real news is the Cuccinelli came so close. He had 5 strikes against him.
But even Fox won’t report that.
