all of us, as well. shaping up to be very close in virginia. it s surprising terry mcauliffe and his campaign spent a ton more money than the republican cuccinelli. they had more than the repub can groups. i ll show you why if you re a betting man and we re not. we ll count every last vote. if you re a betting man put your money on terry mcauliffe, even though he s 10,67 votes at the moment. why do i say that because he s behind at the moment? let s look at the counties up here. this is where virginia won in a close election. let s look. louden county outside of washington, mcauliffe 53% of the vote to come there. if he keeps that margin, he ll make up the dech sit. that s luodoun county.
pounded on obama care and mcauliffe supported it. that lead at best current projections from a 15-point lead to 1 or 2-point win. that has to be sobering to every democrat up in 2014. van, how significant is the presence of the 47% of the vote here, i mean, if you took that out, could cuccinelli have probably won this? yeah, it s interesting and shows a problem here that the republicans and consecorvatives have to deal with. chris chris tee doesn t like that movement. it can go it s own way and went it s own way and will probably wind up costing him. this thing is a lot closer than we thought it would be in virginia. you got two factors, the libertarian movement and the extreme right wing policies of cuccinelli, those two things together give us a win in that column and i think it submits a real stronghold.
terry mcauliffe still winning, 50% of the vote in there. more than enough votes to make up the deficit there. lastly, fair fax county is more democratic county that n the otr two. 57% of the vote in. i ll get these out of the way and show you. the bulk of the vote to be counted are up here in the more moderate, more democratic of late, virginia suburbs just outside of washington dc. to win the republican win, that s the republican race for governor four years ago. bob mcdonald carried those. look at the strong red strength. president obama in 2012 carried them at the moment. at the moment as we count the votes, most of them are up here. terry mcauliffe has a strong lead. more than enough space to make up what right now is an 11,000 vote deficit. let s look at that vote now with 85% of the vote. so close, 11,424 vote difference between cuccinelli and mcauliffe.
hadn t had this independent candidate getting perhaps 7% of the vote they could have won and then it could have been a big win? ken cuccinelli won better in virginia than mitt romney. romney wasn t the tea party candidate. cuccinelli did not run a good campaign. he was shut by the shutdown. when the government shutdown ended, what, three weeks ago, october 17th. cuccinelli was down. not because he was a better candidate but out spend massively 4-1 because of obama care. so for me the two big take aways is chris christi as candy said he s an impressive governor and politician and will be a force to be reckoned with nationally and obama care is toxic. it was dominating in the last two weeks. cuccinelli closed and terry mcauliffe embraced it and said he would expand obama care more, include virginia in the medicaid program under obama care,
