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

[publicunofficial]

Why is Terry McAuilffe considered to be so mediocre?

Because he's the definition of "Generic Democrat". He's mainly known for being unprincipled, and mainly cares only about Democrats winning elections.

I don't know if people here watch Scandal, but he reminds me of Cyrus Beene.

It is an unattractive but important trait in pols in states that are trying to turn disillusionment of the other guys into actual support for them.

Shades of Phil circa 2006 with the PA Senate race but...

New Quinnipiac shows McAuliffe only up 45% to 41% with 4% undecided - http://www.politico.com/story/2013/10/virginia-governor-race-ken-cuccinelli-terry-mcauliffe-poll-99080.html?hp=r3

With Sarvis out of the question, McAuliffe's lead is down to two points. Only 62% of Sarvis voters are said to be definitely voting for him.

Seems like undecided Republican voters are coming home.

Most of the early vote came when McAuliff had a 7 pt lead anyways. The lead will be cut in half from 8 to 4 on Election Day based on GOP turnout on same day voting.

How about it being an outlier?
Cuccinelli has been abandoned by national Republicans and his campaign's spending has been decreasing for a month now. That's the surest sign we'll ever have that his case is hopeless.

Oh, it may be an outlier. But I do expect his numbers to go up (he's not really going to get 39%!) and I'm sure the undecideds and Sarvis voters include a lot of Republicans who will end up voting for him even as he loses.

[Maxwell]

Either 50-45-5 or 51-44-5 is my final prediction for this race. Cuccinelli doesn't really have a shot at winning this race.

Weren't we expecting the same thing to happen with Todd Akin?

What's really impressive is that McAuliffe has a positive favorability rating. How is that even possible when it seems like most Democrats don't even like him?

As Kos mentions repeatedly, he ran an unapologetically liberal  campaign, going as far as championing an assault weapons ban.
Thus he surprised pleasantly all liberals who saw him until a few months ago as the living embodiment of Third Way/DLC politics.

The AWB is something the DLC quite strongly supported. So hes won liberals over by talking up the DLC platform, how surprising.

From RRH. Two of the worst-regarded pollsters have their (I'm assuming) final polls out:

And the worst of them all has Cuccinelli down by one. 41-40-10.

I'm honestly questioning whether they're making numbers up or not. Phil's poll says it's an outlier, but it's actually semi-reasonable for a floor. This is just based completely out of reality.

Phil's poll. Has a nice ring to it. Maybe Phil's Political Polling or PPP.

Sadly, though, it wasn't "Phil's poll." It was Quinnipiac.

I know. Still underscores my point that Wenzel is crap.

Does anyone know if McAuliffe is for or against the death penalty ?

Didn't find a lot on Google ...

Hmmm. Not entirely sure but Bill and Hillary are still for it, right? That probably gives you your answer.

Virginia Dems have released a new ad highlighting Santorum's campaigning on behalf of Cuccinelli.

Remember what I said about Italophobia...?

Democrats were also itching to catch a photo of Cooch together with Ted Cruz. Does that mean they are Hispanophobic too?

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.
