How does it work?

4. It's Cuccinelli vs. McAuliffe

May the best (or least bad, depending on how you look at it) man win!

By the way, here's a video of Carole King explaining why it's so important for Virginians to defeat Ken Cuccinelli (and elect Terry McAuliffe) this year!

5. History to consider

Whoever party Is In white house the opposite party wins governor In Virginia.For Mcauliffe,hardly the strongest democrat, to have a chance to actully win In november says a lot about Cuccinelli and republicans In state.

Send Bill CLinton to campagin for Mcauliffe.Who knows maybe all these attcks on obama will motivate Obama voters to vote.

9. Historically Virginia is a red state.

Throw history out the window!

6. IF we manage to win this, be sure to thank, in part, Howard and Jim Dean

Their DFA considers the VA gubernatorial race a top priority in stopping the extremist wing (OK, I know, is there any other?) of the Republican Party from gaining the governorships of any other major states.

I'm giving Howard and Jim whatever I can spare for this race (they set up a special site just for contributions for this effort). You KNOW the Kochs and Rove are going to be throwing tens of millions to keep this one away from us. McAuliffe is no Mark Warner, and they will be looking to exploit every weakness they can find.

Tell Howard his 12-string-playing friend in Germany sent you You may even get a personal note of thanks from him!

7. Excellent news. Q-polls lean to the right.

For Terry (a liberal) to be ahead in this poll in Virginia (in an off year election) is good news.
He needs to attack Cuccinelli's horrific social policies and talk economics.
