http://bluevirginia.us/diary/10093/republican-rasmussen-reports-mcauliffe-45cuccinelli-38If even Republican Rasmussen has McAuliffe up 7 points, that's not good news
for Crazy Cuccinelli. Now, time to pour it on and crush that entire Extreme Team ticket (Cuccinelli/EW Jackson/Mark "Criminalize Miscarriages" Obenshain).

(54,370 posts)The Republicans are going to pour tens of millions into this race in a tsunami of negative advertising, so Koochicrazy and his whack job LG candidate can just smile and froth at the mouth for the cameras, and not lose a single vote. Republican efforts at disenfranchising voters in heavily Democratic districts and demographics are running full speed ahead as well. This is not over yet, and a Democratic victory is not a lock yet.

As much as I dislike McAwful, I may go to VA and work some doors.

(54,370 posts)There have been a lot of Virginia races between an out-and-out whack job Republican and a ho-hum Democrat. It's significant that with such a wealth of talent in VA, especially considering all the brains that have moved there from other places, we have successfully contested so many elections with less-than-top-tier candidates in that state. I think that with some high-caliber Democratic candidates, DFA's "Purple-to-Blue" campaign would be a cake walk in Virginia, and then they could concentrate on their real uphill challenge (Texas).
