I guess a Ted Cruz/Ron Paul/Scott Walker/Marco Rubio endorsement is a death sentence.

Quote:
Democrat Terry McAuliffe narrowly beat Republican Ken Cuccinelli in an expensive and hard-fought race Tuesday night that ended with the Virginia governorship back in the hands of a Democrat, according to NBC News.
But McAuliffe’s win was closer than expected against the deeply conservative Cuccinelli, the current attorney general. While many expected the Demorat’s win in the once GOP-stronghold of Virginia to provide further evidence of the difficulty conservative candidates have in swing states,the narrow margin could actually inflame the tensions within the GOP. Many in the GOP establishment didn’t get on board with the Tea Party-backed Cuccinelli’s campaign, and key national dollars stopped flowing into the race in the the closing days as Cuccinelli was especially outspent in the vote-rich Northern Virginia media market.
With 93% of precincts reporting, McAuliffe only led 47% to Cuccinelli’s 46%. Libertarian Robert Sarvis, who many expected to pull more votes from Cucinelli, took just under 7%.
Women, minorities and voters who consider themselves moderates all broke for McAuliffe in a race that was dominated by Cuccinelli’s conservative social views, including his opposition to abortion and gay marriage. The former chairman of the Democratic National Party, tied Cuccinelli to a deeply unpopular Republican Party that only suffered more damage in the wake of the government shutdown that especially impacted crucial government employees in the vote-rich Northern Virginia suburbs and exurbs. The result? According to exit polls, McAuliffe won women by eight points, a smaller gap than polls had consistently shown. In 2012, Obama carried female voters by nine points, while in 2009, Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell won female voters by six points.
Still, McAuliffe, a longtime aide and close friend of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was plagued by reports of questionable business deals was seem by some as a cunning Washington money man. But it was Cuccinelli’s negatives were greater and McAuliffe successfully ran as the more pragmatic, bipartisan choice. According to exit polls, 50% of voters said they thought Cuccinelli was too conservative on the issues, while 48% said they thought McAuliffe was about right on his issue positions, though 42% said he was too liberal.
McAuliffe’s win marks the first time that Virginia’s off-year race has remained in the same hands as the president’s party, breaking a nearly four-decades long streak that dates back to 1973. It also continues a recent streak for Democrats in the fast-changing state, where they have won three out of the four past statewide elections – sweeping Senate races in 2008 and 2012 as Obama won the state too.
In the race for governor, it was McAuliffe’s campaign that rose to the challenge. Just four years after he ran a much-maligned campaign for the same office, and finished a distant second in the Demoratic primary, McAuliffe turned himself into a student of the state and built a sophisticated campaign operation staffed by many Clinton veterans who could factor into a potential 2016 Hillary Clinton White House bid.
The off year contest in Virginia typically sees a significant drop off at the polls from a presidential election – but turnout dramatically rose from 2009 and even 2005. Democrats said they were confident that voter turnout would top 40% and they would surpass 2 million votes – a milestone in any governor’s race in Virginia. Building off turnout models and high-tech get-out-the-vote operations from President Obama’s campaigns, Democrats knocked on 2.5 million doors by the time the campaign was over.
Cuccinelli’s campaign was pounded by McAuliffe’s ability to attract star power in President Obama and former President Clinton and a massive financial advantage, too. He outraised his GOP rival by almost $15 million. McAuliffe and his Democratic allies swamped Cuccinelli on the airwaves too, putting in $24 million to the Republican’s $17 million, according to NBC News. In the final months of the race, Cuccinelli was outspent on air by as much as 3-to-1. McAuliffe hadn’t trailed in a public poll in the race since July, and while the financial gap between the two became more pronounced later in the campaign, McAuliffe’s team argued their lead had already been set in place.
Early in the election, Democrats had been unenthused by McAuliffe’s past lackluster campaign and feared that Cuccinelli’s more fervent Tea Party supporters would swamp them in during the run up to the vote. But Cuccinelli’s own party had already soured on him, beginning with the way he secured the nomination. Cuccinelli allies, who had taken hold in the party, forced a convention rather than a primary to choose the nominee. Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling had his eye on the governor’s mansion after deferring to McDonnell in 2009. But he knew he couldn’t win at a gathering dominated by conservative party activists. He withdrew and pointedly declined to endorse Cuccinelli. Many GOP lawmakers defected or stayed on the sidelines, and even conservative editorial boards wouldn’t back Cuccinelli.
But much of the damage to the GOP candidate came from the string of ethics and gift scandal that enveloped and sidelined possibly Cuccinelli best surrogate, incumbent GOP Gov. Bob McDonnell. The sitting governor, who still remained highly popular, is under federal and state investigation for gifts and loans he accepted from Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams. Cuccinelli also accepted a Thanksgiving dinner and a stay at Williams’ home and had to amend his disclosure forms to reflect the $18,000 in gifts. Cuccinelli was cleared of any wrongdoing, but only after months of pressure he donated that value to a charity, and the damage had been done.
He was hammered on controversial statements he’d made on abortion, gay marriage and climate change. He tried to soften his image, boasting of his work on mental health, domestic violence, and even to free a man wrongly convicted of rape from prison, but the damage had been done.
The Old Dominion is a rapidly changing state – but also mirrors a rapidly changing country. There’s been a steady decline in the state’s white population as its Hispanic population has quadrupled since 1990 and doubled since 2000, along with steady growth in other minority groups. With Republican voting strongholds of older, white voters, it’s a problem magnified in Virginia and Cuccinelli’s loss.
That’s good news for Democrats looking to keep the state in their column in 2016 – but perhaps most important for Clinton now that McAuliffe is at the helm of the Old Dominion. The presidential frontrunner made her first post-State Department foray back into politics last month, and the former president made a four-day cross-state swing with the man once referred to as the “First Friend.” McAuliffe will be a close Clinton ally in a critical state, both in a primary and general, and many of his top staffers, including his campaign manager Robby Mook, could factor heavily into the former First Lady’s campaign team.
But it also should be a cautionary lesson for Republicans who often complained that they weren’t competitive nationally because they didn’t nominate the most conservative candidate. In Cuccinelli, they absolutely did. The damage to him was done early and he never recovered,. He was hammered on controversial statements he’d made on abortion, gay marriage and climate change. He tried to soften his image, boasting of his work on mental health, domestic violence, and even to free a man wrongly convicted of rape from prison, but the damage had been done.
Another final nail in his coffin – the 16-day government shutdown across the river, giving Democrats another chance to paint Cuccinelli with the broad brush of a Republican Party in turmoil. Privately, Republicans watching the race doubted he could recover from such a blow, and he never really did. In exit polls, voters put nearly equal blame on Republicans in Congress over President Obama for the shutdown, 47%-46%.
In the race’s final days, Cuccinelli tried to appeal to his base as the last hope to save him, bringing in conservative Tea Party surrogates like Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.). Amid the flawed, glitchy roll out of the president’s healthcare plan, he also sought to make the race a referendum on the president’s health care plan. By then, though, nothing could save him.
Looks like the big shots in the GOP aren't holding much clout any more. I mean, Cuccinelli brought in some real big names in the Tea Party/GOP in the final days, and he still couldn't pull it out.
Hopefully this is foreshadowing for the 2014 races, and we can fix the ship that the Tea Party has been destroying for the last three years.
Maybe if the GOP wasn't such a corrupt organization, they may have had a chance.

For someone who comes across as one who thinks he's pretty special, you have a rather distorted view of things.
Cuccinelli came was getting his ass kicked from July onward in his campaign.
You should actually read the article you posted before spewing such bullshit, or at least you should attempt to understand it if you did read.
For it to be a death sentence there would need to be a drop in Cuccinelli's support. Instead he severely narrowed the gap as shown by the margin of victory being much smaller than the polls predicted.
Here... let me help... "I guess a Ted Cruz/Ron Paul/Scott Walker/Marco Rubio endorsement was almost enough to save an incompetent candidate and his campaign."
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

Yeah. Pretty foolish.
The Dem's brought in their big names and McAuliffe not only lost a great deal of his support, but he couldn't even squeak a 3 point win.
So while the statement "I guess a Ted Cruz/Ron Paul/Scott Walker/Marco Rubio endorsement is a death sentence" is laughable, I suspect the Dems are left wondering why despite Obama himself campaigning for McAuliffe, McAuliffe barely won.

Well let's see here. The Liberals helped fund the Libertarian candidate so it would take votes from the Republican candidate ( just like when Bill Clinton won, remember Ross Perot?). How many dead people voted in Virginia? I am sure plenty did , just like when Obama ran. The Liberals would hardly ever win an election if it wasn't for voter fraud.

Why would you say the Republican big shots lost? The Republican Party gave Cuccinelli no support at all and he was vastly outspent by the Clinton bagman. Further, the Dem funded useful idiot Sarvis cost Cuccinelli the election. This should have been a landslide and it was winnable except for the Republican establishment's ignoring of him. The Republican establishment loathes Cruz and Paul. Not sure where they stand on Walker and Rubio

I really couldn't give two fucks about Obama's poll numbers, and I'm not sure he does either. He's in his last term, and as long as he keeps painting the GOP as what they are - fraudulent and a political danger to the country, he will retain the Senate majority and get the house back too. You could count me in the 53% who disapprove of him, but for reasons that are obviously different than you.
