um... Cuccinelli lost because there was a strong libertarian on the ballot taking votes from him.

Nearly every vote for the libertarian would of gone to Cuccinelli

Not according to the exit polling data. Seeing that the Democrat candidate couldn't even achieve a majority in the state is however a good sign.

No. The party pulled funds from Cuch a month before election day. Cuch lost a very close race.

If Cuch was funded correctly he would have most likely won inspite of the Libertarian candidate..

BTW you should do something about your "umm" speech impediment.

I'm not sure I buy your premise; libertarians are an odd group, and McAuliffe’s position on abortion, alone, would have appealed to many of them. In any case, there is nothing Republicans can do about the fact that libertarians are going to be on state-wide ballots in Virginia.

Why did the Republican party withhold campaign funds from Cuccinelli? Are libertarians responsible for that too? The Republican party usually puts up RINO losers like Romney, John McCain and Bob Dole, and then they lash out at anyone and everyone when they predictably lose. But this is a new sleazy tact: withhold financial support from conservative candidates, and then blame libertarians. Really classy. Let me know how that works out.

But Cuccinelli could still have won if the state party had embraced him, Of course, that assumes that he is the sort of guy who can build a personal following.
