Jezebel's Take on Virginia

http://jezebel.com/ken-cucinelli-lost-in-virginia-because-women-cant-stan-1459434895?utm_campaign=socialflow_jezebel_facebook&utm_source=jezebel_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow


"Women — particularly women who are African American, Latina and not married — favored McAuliffe by a margin of 51-42 (which is five points larger a margin than it was during the last VA gubernatorial race in 2009) and ended up toppling a very close election in the Democrats' favor. Anyone surprised by this only needs to glance at Cuccinelli's history of attacking reproductive rights to see why. Ol' Ken has been putting restrictions on women's access to safe and legal abortions (as well as general access to healthcare) since entered political office in 2002."
