We need to step it up for Cuccinelli

RESIZE: AAA

Friends, Ken Cuccinelli is being outspent 9 to 1 in Virgina and is still winning.

The Republican Attorneys General Association has for reasons unknown to me not given to Cuccinelli. I’m told the Republican State Leadership Committee gave to Cuccinelli and RAGA’s money was part of that. Still, unions and left-wing interest groups intent on holding the Virginia AG’s office for 2012 are giving the Democrat a lot more. For perspective, the GOP gave Cuccinelli $250K and the Dem equivalent gave Shannon $625K. Shannon ran without a primary or convention, unlike Cuccinelli.

We need to help one of our own — and Cuccinelli is one of our own.

Will you please consider giving to him today. Every penny counts. And with the Commonwealth of Virginia trying to deny the military the right to participate in elections, we need a strong conservative like Cuccinelli in the Attorney General’s chair.

Give what you can. I know money is tight. But Ken really is one of us and he needs our help.

    these AG races are hugely important since the left started targeting them after the FL recount in 2000. Look at MN, acorn got one of their own elected as AG and well we now have Al Franken in the senate. that’s enough motivation for me to shoot this guy some money.

    And yes he is one of us. This is a bellweather race around the country this fall…..providing a true conservative a path to Governor in 4 or 8 years. He is that kind of candidate so if you can help him our, please do so. All you need to see is in that debate from last week when he had Shannon completely stumped by exactly what is the office they’re running for. Ken gets it. He understands the role of the AG and the limits of government. If Shannon is elected, you could see the same kind of shenanigans here that we’ve seen in Minnesota, Ohio and Missouri.

    In the latest polls released in the last day or so, Cuccinelli is leading Shannon by double digts. Shannon may have the bucks, but, he doesn’t have the support, and therefore the votes that Cuccinelli will have. Shannon was recently called out in the WaPo for alluding to Cuccinelli as a racist, because he supports the 10th amendment.
