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

[Beet]

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.

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

Ugh. GreenTech is an embarrassment for McAuliffe, period. At this point I'm worried that if he wins, his governorship is going to be dogged by questions of how much he knew at GreenTech about any improprieties. If Bill Bolling had run I'd probably have voted for him. There aren't really any good choices right now.

The problem for Republicans is that if the Democrats keep sweeping state races, Republicans won't have a very good bench to compete.

Who else does the Republicans have beside Bill Bolling?

What are you talking about? The Republicans are the ones who have been sweeping state races. If Jackson loses, we'll have the first Democratic Lt. Governor since 2006. The AG has been Republican since 1994.

Wait, the LG race was close? I've never seen any polling on it.

Northam is only up 3.

Good lord, they buried that deeply. I was just thinking the other day how we've never seen any polls of lower level races. Giving it a bit more attention in the story or graphic or even posting the question a bit higher in the poll might help.

I guess it's the African-American evangelical vote coming out. I think I mentioned this but when I was canvassing for Obama I met one black woman who said she wouldn't vote for him because of his stance on gay marriage. The ironic thing is that most of these people are pro-choice.

Anyone got county maps?
