Some Latinos who turned out to vote in the Northern Virginia suburbs on Tuesday said they were supporting Democrat Terry McAuliffe for governor because they believed his opponent is anti-immigrant.
Republican Ken Cuccinelli II, Virginias attorney general, was pilloried in a Democratic campaign commercial for a remark he made criticizing a D.C. law on pest control, which he claimed prevented the killing of rats.
It is worse than our immigration policy, Cuccinelli said in a 2012 radio interview. You cant break up rat families . . . and you cant even kill em.

Well, the "rats" came out to defeat this slimy, bigoted creep.
