Cuccinelli, McAuliffe trade quips, barbs in final debate

Source: Richmond Times-Dispatch

Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Ken Cuccinelli are sparring over their economic plans, education and transportation during the final gubernatorial debate, under way at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.

"His plan is like believing he came here on a unicorn tonight," McAuliffe said of Cuccinelli's proposed $1.4 billion in tax cuts.

Cuccinelli said he is "the only candidate with ... a real plan," saying his proposal would grow 58,000 new jobs.

The attorney general said McAuliffe has proposed more than $3.5 billion in new spending and that his proposals would result in a $1,700 tax increase for each Virginia family.

Along with his other "peculiarities", he is opposed to the use of epidurals on the grounds that women should be made to suffer for their "original sin".




Please GOTV if you live in VA. The Cooch and his sidekick are too scary.
