Democrat leads repubic in Virginia Governor race.

Per Quinnipiac (KWIN ih pee yak I am from that area and it grates my ears when people mispronounce this) Terry McCauliffe has a 48-42 lead over politically insane opponent, Ken Cuccinelli.

Democrat Terry McAuliffe has a 48 - 42 percent lead over Republican State Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in the race to become Virginia's next governor, according to today's Quinnipiac University poll, the first survey in this race among voters likely to vote in the November election.

The six-point lead for McAuliffe is not comparable to previous surveys by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University, taken among registered voters.

If one considers a Third Way sycophant a Democrat...again, we're faced with the choice of the lesser of two evils. I'm so sick of it.

If you have a more progressive candidate who performs as well statewide, convince him to run next primary.
