Governor race in Virginia

The Virgina governor race has come down to Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Ken Cuccinelli II. Mr. McAuliffe is a business entrepreneur, father, and former chairman of the Democratic Party. Mr. Cuccinelli II is the Attorney General of Virginia, prior to serving as the Attorney General he was a leading conservative member of the Virginia Senate. The two are fighting for control of Virgina, a critical battle ground state. After reading over polls and reading predictions I can confidently say Mr. McAuliffe will win this election. Members of the Tea Party are strongly supporting Mr. Cuccinelli, however many people are still angry at the Party because of the Government Shutdown. Had the Tea Party handled the shutdown better this election would be a lot closer and Mr. Cuccinelli would most likely be the favorite. Obamacare has swung the favor towards the democrats indirectly by causing anger towards the Tea Party throught the government shutdown.
