Virginia Blame Game Begins among Republicans Politico: "Well before the last votes are cast in the state's off-year governor's race, GOP leaders are already engaged in a spirited debate over why, exactly, a fight against a Democrat as flawed as Terry McAuliffe has turned into such a painful slog of a campaign. Even Republicans who haven't yet counted out their nominee, state Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, view the governor's race as a profile in frustration for the GOP - an election that should have leaned toward the Republicans, but where Democrats have held a persistent lead in polling, money and tactical prowess." "The GOP's internal discussion about the race mirrors much of the broader national tug of war within the conservative coalition, between officials and strategists who want the party to trim back some of its most confrontational tactics and hard-edged rhetoric, and activists bent on drawing the starkest possible lines of contrast with the Democratic party of President Barack Obama." politicalwire.com/archives/2013/11/03/virginia_blame_game_begins.html
