The Virginia governor’s race, one of this year’s marquee U.S. political contests, features Democrats painting Republican Lieutenant Governor Ken Cuccinelli as an anti-abortion rights extremist bent on banning the procedure even in cases of rape and incest. Cuccinelli allies portray his opponent, Terry McAuliffe, as an insensitive husband who left his crying wife and newborn in a car to attend a political fundraiser.
The target audience for both: women, whose outsized turnout and support in last year’s presidential election helped win the state for President Barack Obama, and whose loyalties and voting enthusiasm may be the most important factor in determining who prevails in the gubernatorial contest.
