Trailing, Ken Cuccinelli seeks to fire up base

haha. go for it, Coochie.

Ken Cuccinelli thinks his best hope for a comeback in the final three weeks of a Virginia governor’s race that has drifted away from him is to focus on driving up conservative turnout.

So a few hours after Hillary Clinton stumps for Democrat Terry McAuliffe Saturday in Northern Virginia, the Republican will campaign with Mike Huckabee next to Liberty University in the conservative stronghold of Lynchburg.

The former presidential candidate and current Fox News analyst is one of several high-profile, right-wing surrogates coming to the commonwealth during the home stretch. Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, who became famous as a Fox talking head, will appear with Cuccinelli on Monday. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) comes to Virginia Beach the following Monday.

Cuccinelli’s narrow path to victory depends on galvanized conservatives showing up and low-propensity voters who handed the state to President Barack Obama last year – like African Americans and young women – staying home.

...the right wing is very demoralized these days. The unhinged feel they've been "sold out" by their own and they're gonna show them. "Primary them" is the battle cry in freeperland as the vengence is being directed at those who don't pass some ever-changing purity test and with it the move to find "true conservatives"...as if the current bunch of asshats aren't "true" enough. We could see some "ugly" primary fights that are sure to rip that inept and corrupt party further apart. No matter who wins, there's gonna be some very sore losers out there...folks who will stay home rather than vote for a RINO or teabagger or whomever. Their circular firing squad has just begun to shoot things other than blanks...

Cuccinelli is pulling out all the filthy stops that he can, voter elimination and suppression, tuning his message to the ultra regressive base of his, putting fornicating losers like the Duggars front and center in his campaign. If Cuccinelli somehow wins after the horrors that were inflicted on Virginians, in particular women over the last four years by Cuccinelli and McDonald and republicans in the legislature, there will be no one to blame but people who didn't have enough concern to end their victimization.
