Cuccinelli only lost by 56,000 votes ...... And the third party guy got a little over 145,000 ...... Cuccinelli was abandon by the GOP establishment ..... They DONT like the Tea Party.....The RNC STOPPED funding him in October....Cuccinelli was outspent by $ 15 million....and still only lost by a little more then 2%.....
If you want a candidate the will appeal to the voters of NOVA then you want a guy thats ANTI GUN....PRO ABORTION.....PRO OBAMACARE and for HIGHER TAXES....
And that would be a Liberal Democrat ...... Terry McAulliffe.....
You gotta remember lots of the people of NOVA work in DC and live in VA.....and most are liberals and liberals ALWAYS vote Dem.....
