Prediction: If Democrat Terry McAuliffe wins (and I hope he does not!), the media will claim the 2016 presidential race over and say the Republicans might as well not even field a candidate!  The media will even make it sound like that is the way 2014 will go.  IF Republican Ken Cucinelli wins (and I hope he does!), the media will claim that the Virginia race has no bearing on 2016, and not even on the 2014 mid-term elections either.
