| Ken Cuccinelli (R-VA) |
From the New Civil Rights Movement:
A new Quinnipiac poll that has Cuccinelli down 6 points
to Democrat Terry McAuliffe, seems to have spooked The Cooch. After
weeks of hitting McAuliffe with one brutal attack ad after another,
McDonnell and the Virginia Republican party seemed to have decided
Governor McDonnell’s ethics scandal has become a drag on the ticket. We
all know what that means, it’s under-the-bus time.
Late last week Cuccinelli released a new TV ad called “Facts”, in
which he claimed credit that he “personally launched the investigation
into Bob McDonnell and called for reform to strengthen ethics laws.” The
ad fails to mention Cuccinelli also took $18,000 from Bob McDonnell’s
sugar daddy. No doubt just an oversight.
“Cuccinelli’s actions tell me he knows he has a problem.” Chuck Todd
said. He added that four months ago, Cucinelli planned on using his
close relationship with Bob McDonnell to persuade moderates he was not
as conservative as they might think.
Michael Steele, past chairman of the RNC, analyzed Cuccinelli’s old McDonnell problem. “The voters of Virginia know that the governor is not going to be on the ballot. They can’t show their disgust, disdain, dislike for what he’s done at the ballot box. The next best thing is to take it out on the leading candidate for the GOP.”
