Virginia Governor's Race 2013 -Who's Gonna Win?

[TX Conservative Dem]

Good evening folks.

On the VA Governor's race: I'm thinking it's too close to call and for McAuliffe to win, he's gonna need huge turnout among African Americans and Latinos to have any shot at reclaiming the VA governorship for the Dems.

Didn't the VA General Assembly push some legislation to extending the governor's term to 8 years instead of the one-term restriction (like Mexico and Guatemala have on their presidents) ?

Here's how I think VA will go in November:

1. State Attorney General-Dems wins the office for the first time since 1989: it's been 24 years since a Democrat won the state's law enforcement post.

2. Lieutenant Governor-Dems take back this office because Jackson is an IDIOT.

3. Governor: Too close to call, but I'm going to lean McAuliffe, who needs the Clintons and Senators Kaine & Warner to bail him out and help him.

We're about to find out in 3 months if McAuliffe can break the curse on his political party losing the governorship despite holding the WH.

Beet, I think it's possible we could see a Democratic sweep of Governor, LG and State AG in November.

Cuccinelli will win this race in the end.

I just do NOT see the traditional trend since 1977 ending anytime soon.

If I had to guess:
Governor-TOSSUP: this one could go either way and it will depend on how big turnout is in the Old Dominion: if it's low, it helps Cuccinelli, but if it's high: it helps McAuliffe.

Lieutenant Governor-OPEN: Likely Democratic pick-up: Northam beats Jackson, 57-40.

State Attorney General-Too close to call, but I'll take my chances with GOP hold here.

Virginia is still Purple though despite recent Dem gains.

The General Assembly is GOP controlled: the House of Delegates is staying Red for awhile due to gerrymandering and redistricting, while the State Senate has a chance of flipping back Blue.

My bet on how Virginia will look like in November:

Governor-McAuliffe (D) by 8 points (53-45) or maybe smaller 51-45
Lieutenant Governor-Northam (D) by 17 points (57-40) or 19 (58-39) since Jackson is a HORRIBLE candidate
State Attorney General-Obenshain (R) by a narrow margin, 50-49

The last time the VA Dems swept all statewide offices was in 1989.

McAuliffe leading by 12 points ? WOW, I'll believe it until I see the official returns on Nov. 5th.

The State AG's race is going to the one for everyone to watch.

McDonnell's unpopularity is NOT helping Cuccinelli any matters.

[TX Conservative Dem]

Fox News brought up a poll, claiming Cuccinelli has the mojo going into Tuesday's big election.

If I were McAuliffe, I would NOT want Obama near you because Obamacare is UNPOPULAR.
