Assisting The Virginia Governors Race - McAuliffe and Cuccinelli
One thing we know, the two candidates for governor want a very nasty contest. They are smearing each other to no end. I say we all help them out and make it as nasty as it can ever get. Let's say we smear them both so bad that they never want to show their faces in Virginia again. However, the one left standing gets to be governor if they can take the heat.
Former Global Crossing employees say they weren't told their comments would be used in the Virginia Republican's latest hit on Dem Terry McAuliffe. Read the full story here: Mother Jones put up this information. A spin palace concern.
How much garbage did they want to bring out on each other? Are either of these candidate gay? Did they have a secret relationship that ended badly and now they are hen pecking each other to death? If we are forced to watch and listen to all this crap, the least we can all do is give it back to them to see how it all feels for us to have to put up with it. So now we are dedicating a post each day to help them smear each other until they can no longer stand. Tell both Ken Cuccineli and Terry McAuliffe to stop the smear campaigns. We Virginians expect and demand better than this.

Last year's elections proved that grassroots campaigns like ours can out-raise, out-organize, and beat these guys. But that only works with your support.
I'm just $4,873 from hitting our $25,000 emergency response goal by midnight. Please chip in right now to make sure I have the resources I need to fight back:
Thanks for everything,
Terry
The same national organization that's already spent more than $5 million attacking Terry McAuliffe just gave Ken Cuccinelli's campaign another million dollars!
Math's not my strong suit, but that means they've spent a total of $6.8 million so far — almost approaching a dollar per Virginian.
That much money will make a real difference for the Cuccinelli campaign. It could pay for direct mail to thousands of voters, go towards blanketing the state in radio ads, or (and this is most likely) buy a whole lot of attack ads on TV across the Commonwealth.
If Terry is going to keep up, he needs our help. When I heard about the donation, I knew I had to do everything I could — and that I had to check in with you to see if you'd join me.
Will you donate $5 right now to help Terry? His team needs to raise $25,000 by midnight tonight to counter these damaging RGA-funded attacks.
Terry is the only person that can stop Ken Cuccinelli's extreme right-wing agenda from becoming a very scary reality for Virginia and national Republicans know it.
News just broke that Jeb Bush is coming to town to raise money for Cuccinelli's campaign. And that's on top of the fundraising trips already planned by Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio!
There aren't a lot of competitive races this year, so Republicans — who want a big win to build momentum for next year's elections — know electing Tea Party darling Ken Cuccinelli is their best shot.
They're all in. And they'll come out on top if we're not all in for Terry McAuliffe, too.
Chip in $5 right now to make sure Terry hits his fundraising goal before midnight.
I can't emphasize enough that this is a critical moment for you to support Terry. We need to stop Jeb Bush and his friends from pushing Cuccinelli into the lead right now — it'll be much harder to fight our way back from behind.
We're all counting on you,
James Carville
Everyday we keep getting messages from the McAuliffe campaign asking for money money money and lots more money and a lot of finger pointing. Here is what we would like to see each of these campaigners do. Pick five things they like about their opponent and discuss those issues with the public.
If each says the other is a criminal, have full investigations done and throw the other in jail. We do not need a criminal in the governor's office. Also, what is the problem with Jeb Bush and Rand Paul coming to help Cuccinelli? McAuliffe just had Bill Clinton sending emails on his behalf. Finger pointing? Throwing stones in a glass house are we?
We are all tired of party politics. Stop it. Tell us what you are going to do for us and how you are going to protect the interests of the commonwealth. Complaining about the other guy only sours us on each of you. We do not care if you are a republican or a democrat or a libertarian, we care what you plan to do and how you plan to get there. If this is how either of you are going to run your office, go somewhere else.

McAuliffe, Cuccinelli answer questions at tech forum - Richmond Times Dispatch

Richmond Times-Dispatch
RESTON – Gubernatorial hopefuls Ken Cucinelli and Terry McAuliffe outlined positions on taxes, transportation, workforce development and economic incentives in a candidates’ forum today for 150 technology business leaders.
But the orderly, business-themed event sponsored by the Northern Virginia Technology Council – in which both men responded to questions when the other was out of the room – did not keep the candidates from using the forum to indirectly attack their opponent’s perceived weaknesses.
Cuccinelli prompted murmuring in the hall when he said he does not "overdo" his focus on social issues.
"My track record is one of defending life and families but you know it’s not like I overdo this," he said.
McAuliffe described as “fiscally irresponsible” Cuccinelli’s plan to cut $1.4 billion in taxes through reductions in the personal income and corporate income taxes and reiterated Cuccinelli’s opposition the multi-billion transportation plan passed by the General Assembly earlier this year.
Cuccinelli said McAuliffe had not presented detailed plans for a gubernatorial term and suggested McAuliffe’s dependence on union funding in his campaign meant he could not be trusted as governor to get the most out of the transportation tax dollars.
“Do you want union Terry spending that money or frugal Ken?” he asked.
McAuliffe said he would be a “brick wall” in protecting the rights of women and will “veto any legislation that is taking any rights away from women” – a reference to the attorney general’s support for recently approved Health Department rules regulating abortion clinics as hospitals.
The Democrat was responding to a question asked by an attorney for the Venable Law Firm – which last week filed suit against the state on behalf of a Northern Virginia women’s clinic. McAuliffe suggested the attorney general’s positions on issues like gay rights in state hiring and women’s issues like the establishment of strict new building standards on abortion clinics – are bad for business.
Cuccinelli, responding to the same question later in the program, reaffirmed his stance “for life and for families” but pivoted to question McAuliffe’s concern about the impact the state’s reputation on those issues would have on attracting business.
“In fact the last time my opponent had a chance to plant a business somewhere, he put it in that bastion of tolerance – Mississippi,” Cuccinelli deadpanned – a reference to the struggling electric car startup, GreenTech Automotive, which McAuliffe founded in late 2009.
Both men came closer to defining their positions on several controversial issues during subsequent separate interview sessions with reporters after the forum, held at the Microsoft corporate offices.
Among the highlights:
McAuliffe, who has received substantial union support in his campaign, said he would not seek to change the state’s right to work law, which prohibits mandatory membership in a union as a condition of employment.
“Right to work has been the law here in Virginia for 65 years, and I wouldn’t change it -- plain and simple,” he said.
“As it (relates) to specific agreements, I have made it crystal clear, first and foremost, I am going to do whatever agreements are in the best interests of the commonwealth of Virginia...I will work with business. I will work with labor. I will work with everyone.”
Cuccinelli, who has received substantial financial support from energy companies, said cutting state tax subsidies to coal companies would be up for consideration among other tax credits when it comes to funding his proposed income tax cut.
“They’re on the table for sure,” he told reporters. “I’m not taking them off the table,” he added, saying he would spare health and education subsidies.
“Who supports me isn’t a determinant of our policy outcomes -- it just isn’t,” Cuccinelli said. “People are used to seeing that, but I have a track record of doing otherwise.”
McAuliffe said changing Virginia’s constitutional amendment on marriage to include gay couples was not practical given the current composure of the legislature, which must pass approve any amendment two years in a row before it could be placed on the ballot for referendum.
“It’s not an issue that I’m going spend my time focusing on…the constitution is not going to change in my term. I’m going to focus on issues I can make a difference on – jobs, economic development, Medicaid expansion…”
Cuccinelli also sought to temper concerns that he would preside over what McAuliffe has called a “divisive social ideological agenda” if he were elected governor. He drew a distinction between his job as attorney general, which he describes as reactive, and the General Assembly, which acts on legislation.
“There’s a difference between them doing their own thing and putting the political capital of the governor behind one program or another,” he said.
The attorney general also sought to put more distance between himself and running mate E.W. Jackson, whose controversial statements on gays, abortion and President Barack Obama have drawn criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike.
“I’m not going to dive into their races or their statements,” Cuccinelli said of his running mates, Jackson and attorney general candidate Sen. Mark Obenshain of Harrisonburg.
He said they had no planned events to appear as a joint ticket except for the traditional “fly-around” at the end of the election.
“I’ve got to stand on my own and they have to do the same thing,” Cuccinelli said. “Do I want every Republican in Virginia to win? You bet I do, you bet I do… We got a 20-20 Senate – and I’d sure like to have the 21st vote.”
