Bill Bolling would've beaten McAuliffe by 20 points. Dems would've stayed home like they did in 2009
Doubt it. Boiling would have been a MUCH better candidate, but I doubt it would be 20 points or anything close. McAuliffe isn't exactly the best candidate for the Dems, but he is certainly stronger than Creigh Deeds was, especially in NOVA. Regardless, we aren't going to find that out since the VA GOP decided to nominate a loon.
Alas for the poor white male...who have been having things their own way for the past 300 years or so and are now weeping over the rise of equality.
At least 2 of your 'points' are happening because men have had all the advantages since, well, forever. 2 & 5 are only true in the last 10 years or so. Prior to that, men lead that 'gender gap' in both medical and college. Get used to the new paradigm, y'all.
What the hell does this post have to do with the Virginia Governor Race? LOL, you liberals.
McAuliffe continues to hold a double-digit lead with women...who vote more than men do.
Why would women, who seemed to be the loudest voices against Wall Street types, be for McAuliffe, who is a Wall Street insider, having spent much of his life in banking? He is the Democrat's Mitt Romney in terms of his dealings in banking and venture capitalists.
He has a reputation for shady deals, and now his Green Tech Automotive is under investigation by the SEC.

Huh? Who's weeping? I don't think you are describing the majority of men. My wife was a department store General Manager in a large up-scale southern CA department store chain for many years. I am very proud of her (we're both retired now). We raised to lovely daughters together and home schooled them besides. No easy task, but they did well. Our schedule was such that we could both do this.
I have no problem at all with smart and strong women. I love them.
Statistical tie means that the margin in the poll is equal to Margin of Error. 4 is not equal to 2.9.
Any "likely voter poll" is going to be wrong. For example Last year, Rassmussen defined a "likely voter" as anyone who had voted in the last 2 presidential elections. That means anyone who had turned 18 in 08 and voted for the first time was not called a likely voter. Anyone who turned 18 after 2008 and was planning on voting for the first time was not counted as a likely voter. That poll had Romney 49, Obama 48 (11/03/12), as you know. Romney actually lost by 3.9%
Likely voter polls are the most accurate. Polls of people not likely to vote are meaningless. Any pollster will tell you this.
Women like the Wall Street banker, scandal ridden types?

Wasn't it women that were the most vocal about Mitt Romney and his ties to Bain Capital?
McAuliffe has spent most of his life in banking and as a venture capitalist, like Mitt Romney. His Federal City National Bank donated $125,000 to Richard Gephard's campaign while McAuliffe sat on the board, and also loaned money to Tony Coelho and Jim Wright. Wright was forced to resign from the House amid scandal concerning an aide's assault on Pamella Small, and also charges of ethics violations.
In the 1980's McAuliffe was entangled in the financial collapse of lawyer Richard Swan, who was in charge of fund raising for Jimmy Carter. McAuliffe used his political contacts to help Swan.
McAuliffe made millions off his investment in Global Crossing, when he sold his holdings just before they filed for bankruptcy the same month. Investors lost over $54 Billion, and 10,000 employees lost their jobs.
Currently, his Green Tech Automotive is under investigation by the SEC.
I guess you could ask, "What's not to like about McAuliffe?" He's your typical lying, cheating, Washington insider Democrat who always seems to be involved in scandal.
Is there such a thing as a moderate Republican anymore?
This race was decided way back at the beginning when the GOP decided to skip their primary and nominated the candidates at a conference. Doing an end-run around your base never works.
Is there such a thing as an Honest Democrat? Not Terry McAuliffe.
The question at this point is who comprises the 9%? We know that this 9% won't hold on election day. So IMO, the winner of this election comes down to the composition of the 9% and who leaves the 9.
Also, a Roanoke College poll in the same article has McAuliffe up 15% over Cuccinelli; however, they have McAuliffe with 46% of the vote, similar to the Quinnipiac, but have more undecideds and thus, less share for Cuccinellli.
This race comes down to a contest between honesty and integrity, and a scandal ridden, dishonest Washington insider.

If it's really gotten this close, the Libertarians will break 2-1 for Cuccinelli:
McAuliffe 47&
Cuccinelli 45%
Sarvis 3%
which means that the winner will be determined by the remaining 5% and how they break.

Green Tech Automotive under SEC scrutiny
