Many analysts believe Cuccinelli’s brand of conservatism fit more in politics 30 years ago than they do now. Others feel the first nail in the coffin was because of scandals involved with Virginia governor Bob McDonnell. The final blow was delivered by house republicans who are taking significant heat for the government shutting down and the brinksmanship over raising the debt ceiling.
One cannot overlook that women favor McAuliffe over Cuccinelli by nearly 20 points in addition to Cuccinelli’s other woes. It seems that a perfect storm has gathered to knock Cuccinelli out of the running. However, its over when its over and the final ballot has been counted. Until then, its anybody’s game.
