Yes — barring unforeseen circumstances, we cats are planning to hit the road again for an end-of-summer trip to the True North. But until we do, a few news items from here in Virginia are keeping our furry little heads spinning.
In the Governor's race, a new Quinnipiac poll shows Terry McAuliffe ahead of Ken "I Never Met a Fetus I Didn't Like" Cuccinelli by six points.
We cats find this very interesting. Not just because we like a six-point lead, but also because Quinnipiac polls this year have tended to favor Republicans. Which makes us wonder whether their off-year-election turnout model is still accurate, given: 1) the strength of the Democratic vote last year, 2) the continuing aging of the Republican base, 3) the GOP's inability to expand that base and 4) the fact that new voters are registering Democratic by wide margins.
In short, we're wondering how much farther ahead Terry really is.
We also think that if the Cootchy Camp had a favorable internal poll, they would have leaked it to counter the Quinnipiac poll. So far, crickets.
And, last but not least, the Cootch is laboring under a heavy 44-percent unfavorable rating. This is what happens when — instead of laying out your vision for the state — you spend all your time defending yourself on rape by ultrasound, gas royalties in Southwest Virginia, missile launchers in airports, your obsession with sodomy, and all those gifts you received from Transvaginal Bob's good friend Jonnie Williams.
Not a bad state of affairs for 80 days out. We cats PURR.
