Ken Cuccinelli fights stench of doom

SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. — In politics, it is generally not a good omen when a candidate’s supporters argue that he still has a chance of victory — if the opponent’s supporters neglect to vote.

But this was Virginia Republican Party Chairman Pat Mullins’s version of the power of positive thinking in an interview this weekend. The path for star-crossed GOP gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli, Mullins said, looks like this: “If turnout is in the 30s, the low 30s, we’re gonna win. If it gets higher up in Fairfax [in Democratic-leaning Northern Virginia], say like 40, it’s likely we won’t. I don’t think it’s going to hit 40 anywhere. I’m looking at 32.”

For context, 72 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in last year’s presidential election and 40 percent voted in the most recent governor’s race.

This valiant effort at optimism is the kind of thing a campaign does in the closing hours when it becomes enveloped with an unmistakable stench of impending doom

2. Mullins may have an unfortunate point.

The belief that the election is a foregone conclusion, coupled with the fact that many Democrats really don't like McAuliffe, could lead to very low turn-out in Democratic areas. Will it be 8% lower than the last gubernatorial election? I doubt it, but it is a possibility.

On the other hand, as much as I despise him, McAuliffe has been running a stellar campaign. If his ground game matches his other moves, he's got this in the bag.

And as bad as McAuliffe is, Cuccinelli would be a thousand times worse.

We can't get complacent, we need to show up big.
