I sense a golden opportunity for 3rd party candidates in Virginia this year; neither Cuccinelli nor McAuliffe excites people in a positive way, they are both reviled and exciting only negatively.
The turnout in Virginia’s off-cycle elections is always low, and at it’s lowest the year after a presidential election that has exhausted the voters; and the state’s built in advantages for only two parties means we rarely see third party candidates. Given that neither candidate is acceptable even to their own base; it could be a remarkably easy year to get elected Governor with very few votes and resources.
