There’s a reason the Clintons have been called in to spend a week campaigning for Democrat Terry McAuliffe and that anti-Second Amendment New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is pouring in millions of dollars into the McAuliffe campaign with two weeks to go before the election – Ken Cuccinelli is surging and Terry McAuliffe is fading.
A new poll by Wenzel Strategies [19], which accurately predicted closing momentum for Sens. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Deb Fischer, among others, shows that Democrat Terry McAuliffe is leading Republican Ken Cuccinelli 41%-40%. Libertarian Robert Sarvis garners 10% and 9% of Virginia’s likely voters who remain undecided.
Brian Baker, President of Ending Spending Action Fund, which commissioned the poll told Breitbart News, “Their internals must be showing what our poll indicates -- that his [McAuliffe’s] unfavorables are high and they must try to suppress Cuccinelli turnout to prevail. All indications are that the numbers are closing, especially post shutdown. The focus will be where the undecideds go and what will Sarvis draw? With the race this close, the poll indicates a vote for [Libertarian Robert] Sarvis is a vote for McAuliffe.”
According to the analysis of Breitbart’s Mike Flynn, the slight edge McAuliffe holds is due mostly to stronger support within his partisan base. 81% of Democrats support McAuliffe, against just 68% of Republicans who support Cuccinelli. With less than two weeks to go, the race is a toss-up that will likely be decided by turnout, a critical factor in an off-year election.
Liberals and the special interest crowd at the Capitol in Richmond get the big picture and what is at stake in this election.
If they defeat Ken they will have a clear path to raise taxes, enact further environmental regulations that will restrict America’s energy sources and independence and devastate Virginia coal country, rollback Virginia’s sensible limits on abortion and to make sure Obamacare remains the law of the land.
However, if Ken wins, it will have national implications and send a signal that voters reward principled conservatives who do fight for our limited government constitutional conservative agenda.
Right now the Governor’s race effectively tied, and Cuccinelli might be running away with the election if Sarvis was not in the race. But Sarvis is in the race, and Terry McAuliffe has out fundraised Ken better than 2 to 1.
The only way to beat this avalanche of liberal money from outside of Virginia is through a grassroots campaign that turns-out every limited government constitutional conservative in Virginia to vote for Ken Cuccinelli. Voting for Libertarian Robert Sarvis is a dead end; we urge limited government constitutional conservatives and other liberty loving voters to commit today to vote for Ken Cuccinelli.
