New Poll:McAuliffe Opens a Double-Digit Lead Over Cuccinelli

A new Washington Post poll embodies truly bad news for GOP nutcase and extremist Ken Cuccinelli.  I for one hope the poll is correct: it finds McAuliffe 51%-Cuccinelli 39%-Sarvis 8%.  As I cannot stress enough, however, that regardless of such positive polling numbers, everyone who opposes the extreme Cuccinelli-Jackson-Obenshain agenda needs to get out and vote on November 5, 2013, to insure that the GOP extremists and misogynists all go down in defeat.  Here are highlights from Blue Virginia on the new poll results:

Democrat Terry McAuliffe has opened a double-digit lead over Republican Ken Cuccinelli II in the race for Virginia governor, in a new poll capturing increasing dissatisfaction among voters with Cuccinelli's party and his conservative views.

According to a new Washington Post-Abt SRBI poll, McAuliffe tops Cuccinelli 51 percent to 39 percent among likely voters in the Nov. 4 election. McAuliffe led by eight percentage points in a poll taken last month. Libertarian Robert Sarvis, who has capitalized on voter unrest with the two major party candidates, is at 8 percent, according to the new poll.
[...]
McAuliffe's strong position also could boost Democrats' chances of sweeping statewide offices for the first time in a quarter-century - and make substantial gains in the GOP-dominated House of Delegates. According to the poll, the race for lieutenant governor is equally lopsided for the Democrat, while the Democratic candidate for attorney general is just three points ahead of the Republican - within the margin of error.
The other encouraging news is that the Post poll finds that both Democrat Ralph Northam and Democrat Mark Herring ahead of their GOP opponents:  Northam leads corrupt extremist wackjob E.W. Jackson 52%-39%, while Mark Herring leads Mark "votes like Jackson and Cuccinelli talk" Obenshain 49%-46%.

Meanwhile, remember how Cuccinelli was bringing in Tea Party heroes to rally his base?  Today Rand Paul spoke at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University on behalf of Cuccinelli.  What did Paul talk about?  On eugenics - yes, eugenics (WTF?!?!?) - and the movie Gattaca.  In fact, Rachel Maddow suggests that much of Paul's speach was plagiarized from the Wikipedia entry on the movie Gattaca (which bombed at the box office).
