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

[Frodo]

Since this seems to be the only major race this year that has any suspense to it...    

[Landslide Lyndon]

If the Feds start investigating Kookinelli, just like they started doing with McDonnell, then maybe this race won't have much suspense too.

[publicunofficial]

Cucinelli is a Santorum-esque nut, and the FBI investigation into McDonnell can't end well for him.


McAuliffe is a terrible candidate whose policies are just the Democratic Party Platform.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

McAuliffe, I guess.  It's a shame Bolling didn't run.

[free my dawg]

McAuliffe. He may be the incarnation of Generic D, but Cuccinelli is just insane.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

McAuliffe, though Cuccinelli winning wouldn't shock me greatly.

[seanNJ9]

Terry = Democrats Romney

He was a born a loser.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

McAuliffe, though Cuccinelli winning wouldn't shock me greatly.

This; I might send $20 to Cuccinelli sometime soon, just to do my part. I met him in 2009, when I was 13. One of the nicer politicians I have encountered, so I hope he wins.

[RogueBeaver]

Cooch.

[tmthforu94]

Terry = Democrats Romney

He was a born a loser.

Mitt Romney is not a loser.

I think McAuliffe is favored, but I expect it to go down to the wire.

[Marokai Backbeat]

It's really a shame that Bolling didn't run, because I don't think I could bring myself to vote for either of these two if I lived in Virginia.

[Miles]

I don't like either, but I'd vote for my party.

[windjammer]

Mcauliffe, the lesser evil

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I support and would vote for Cuccinelli, but I highly doubt that he'll win.  He's too extreme on social issues, and as such, will get creamed in the DC suburbs and seal the election for McAuliffe *gag*.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Terry = Democrats Romney

He was a born a loser.

Mitt Romney is not a loser.

In terms of his electoral record, he most certainly is a loser.

[bballrox4717]

Definitely not Virginia.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Definitely not Virginia.

?

[tmthforu94]

Definitely not Virginia.

?

Virginia loses because regardless, they're getting a bad Governor. The poll question asked who is going to win in November.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Definitely not Virginia.

Pretty much.  Both are just terrible, really godawful.

Changing my vote to Cuccinelli (although this race is certainly subject to change). He is the definition of a right wing extremist, but at this point an ideologue with charisma can beat a milquetoast Generic D. And nobody in America fits the Generic D stereotype better than Terry McAuliffe.

It's absolutely disgusting that VA Democrats couldn't find someone better.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

So there is no chance another Dem jumps in? Is it too late?

Really? Wasn't Joe Donnelly a Generic D? You think it's a shame the Ds couldnt find someone other than a Generic D? Isn't the definition of Generic D type of candidate the Ds would typically find? I'm confused by this post.

Edit: Nvm, just saw the WaPo poll. Sure, if someone else were to jump in that might shake things up, but it would be risky. Equally with a prospect of success is just McAuliffe running a better campaign

Joe Donnelly is a generic blue dog in a red state who most likely would have lost if Mourdock learned how to shut the hell up about rape. That race firmly leaned towards the Republicans until Mourdock decided to open his mouth (thank god for that).

Terry McAuliffe is a generic New Democrat and a political retread who talks about Bill Clinton in a way that makes Monica Lewinsky look like a nun in a swing state. He's going up against a candidate whose politics aren't palatable for a purple state. Sure, he's a great fundraiser and he was a good DNC chair, but as a candidate I don't like him. And now reputable polling outlets are starting to agree with the ridiculous results I wrote off a month ago. Right now, this race tilts Cuccinelli when you and I both know it very well shouldn't be.

I'm hoping that his fundraising can save this guy's ass or Cuccinelli Akins his way into obscurity. Please, Terry, prove me wrong.

I'm pretty sure both of these men are much more successful than any of us ever will eb.
