Why the Cuccinelli vs. McAuliffe Race Matters to You, Even If You Don't Live in VirginiaGeraghty's right.
First, does anyone want to argue that Ken Cuccinelli–Virginia's attorney general, and the current GOP candidate for governor – is not a conservative?
- Led the legal challenge to Obamacare.
- Defended Arizona's immigration-enforcement statute.
- Filed legal challenges to the EPA's findings on greenhouse gases being a threat to human health and thus an emission they have the authority to regulate.
- Supports right to life from conception until death, supported and pushed several pro-life bills while in the state legislature.
- Endorsed by the NRA.
...So if you're one of those folks who believes that Mitt Romney was a RINO squish, and that Republicans always lose when they nominate RINO squishes, then you really, really, really need Ken Cuccinelli to win this year.If Ken Cuccinelli – Mr. Conservative Record – loses against a flawed competitor like Terry McAuliffe, in a purple state like Virginia . . . and simultaneously, Governor Hug-Obama-After-a-Hurricane-and-Move-Left wins in a landslide up in New Jersey . . . the message to the rest of the Republican party will be pretty clear. What you fervently believe – conservatives win, moderate squishes lose – will be refuted in the eyes of many Republicans.
Proud conservatives like to believe that their like-minded grassroots voters are, collectively, like a sleeping giant... [but if] the conservative grassroots are indeed a sleeping giant, so far they're hitting the "snooze" button on this race. At least through mid-summer, Cuccinelli's fundraising is pretty "meh"...Cuccinelli, 44, had $2.7 million in cash as of the end of June, compared with $6 million for McAuliffe, 56, the former national Democratic Party chairman and fundraiser. While McAuliffe had been expected to out-raise Cuccinelli, the Republican is lagging behind where McDonnell was at this point in his 2009 race, when he had $4.9 million in cash on hand.What, national conservatives, the stakes aren't high enough? You don't feel sufficiently invested in the success of Cuccinelli in November?Okay, then think of the Terry McAuliffe 2013 campaign as a dress rehearsal for the Hillary Clinton 2016 effort.Because that's how the McAuliffe team sees themselves ... In fact, McAuliffe and some of his top allies have suggested to big donors and consultants that supporting his campaign is a way to get in on the ground floor of Hillary 2016, several donors and operatives told POLITICO.
We Constitutional conservatives like to think we have far more support for our principles than the RINO establishment has for its non-principles. We need to prove it when it comes to serious candidates like Cuccinelli, especially when lined up against loathsome, crooked-as-a-corkscrew moonbats like Terry McAuliffe.
If you have a few bucks to spare, please drop by Ken Cuccinelli's site and help out.

Done. Thanks Doug. I put the info in the comments at Scoop's.
I added this bit, though:
"BY THE WAY... when it comes to donating to these guys, remember that it's actually better for them to have ten thousand donors sending in $20 each than to have only forty people contributing $5000 each."
Mandatory home phone submission required? Last time I gave to Allen West, I ended up getting constant robo calls and RNC appeals. I know the "good guys" want to make sure they play by "all" the rules, but if I can't pop a couple a bucks here and there without it leading to what felt like harassment, then yeah, the cheaters have already won.
You sure have picked the wrong people to vouch for Cuccinelli. If the weenies over at NRO are calling him conservative, then he's probably the riniest RINO since Mitt Romney or William Weld.
It wouldn't surprise me to find out that they already think he's a loser, so they're trying to pre-blame his loss on not selling out enough to the Left.
“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

Virginia rated 47th & 49th in corruption - the VSB who hosted this debate at one of the most expensive venues in Virginia - Is one of the most corrupt groups in Virginia - It is funded off the lawyers dues and interest on their Trust Accounts - or as past president Ben DiMuro has done you can leave them 10% of your estate - In return if you use Ben DiMuro as your attorney as Ilona Ely Freedman Grenadier Heckman of Old Town Alexandria has done. You won't need to follow the Laws or the Rules of the Law. Ilona has been allowed to be involved in Perjury, Obstruction of Justice, Fraud on the Court, Involvement of Forgery, Theft of money from the Sonia Grenadier Trust account through her law office for great personal gain over $10 Million in Real Estate, Theft of Herman Grenadier, malpractice, Bribery, Abuse of her Oath of Office, Conspiracy, Collusion, Miscarriage of Justice, preventing Due Process, conflict of interest – related to the practice of law, violating code of ethics, has liability to her victims, has violated Plaintiffs Religious, US Constitutional Rights, Va Rights etc - But, she is a part of the Old Boys Network - which in Virginia lives by a different set of Rules - You can read more about it at www.valaw2010.blogspot.com - So the way attorneys like BWW-Law f/k/a Bierman, Geesling, Ward & Wood keep there license's is how much they pay the VSB - in return forgery, perjury et al are ignored
