campaigning for ken cuccinelli.nwhile, cuccinelli las been doing this for governor mcdonald. he quiet lid ordered a special investigator to probe whether governor mcdonald broke virginia law about reporting gifts. the headline gift in question was a chicken dinner. a $15,000 chicken dinner served at the wedding of the gf are in's daughter. that was paid for bay campaign donor who makes a tobacco-based supplement of some kind and is himself under federal investigation. mr. cuccinelli it turns out also received gifts from that same donor and then did not report them and then, years later, finally did report them. fbi agent are looking into the governor's gifts for any sign after quid pro quo for the governor in this company. also, the governor's former chef is facing embezzlement charges. as part of his defense he is demanning to know in open court what the governor's grown children were doing carting off flats of egg is and gatorade and protein powder from the governor's mansion kitchen. but do not worry, virginia, g

and with no gop opponent there was no drama as ken cuccinelli was nominated. he helps to follow in the footsteps of his republican predecessor bob mcconnell who rose from attorney general to governor. known better for his ardent anti-abortion views and his crusade against obama care, cuccinelli is laying groundwork to focus instead on virginia's economy. news4 because the only washington station cuccinelli spoke with when he stepped off the stage. >> the headline message out of here is that i hope all 10,000 or how ever many republicans are here go out together and pushing our pro jobs, pro growth agenda. >> reporter: he insists that republicans will move ahead united. >> there have been elbows thrown, but it's competitive. but a lot of the themes have been consistent from one candidate to the other. >> reporter: while ken cuccinelli's nomination was initial today he has been running against his opponent terry mcauliffe for months now. the rest of the democratic field, and the attorney general's spot will be finalized in a statewide primary on june 11th. >>> n

he's going to be republican gubernatorial nominee ken cuccinelli's running meat pinpoint to bring ined to it in that read i did in the last segment but virginia is so striking to me when you look at how the state voted 20i7b 08 in the oba-- 200 in obama/mccain race. 20i7b 09 when the state had a gubernatorial election, it's basically a sea of red. obama voters didn't show up. is that really the key question to this election this year can the obama voters turn out fortiery mcauliffe the democratic candidate? >> it is. the great fallacy is reporters turned and obama. obama's coalition is more important than any coalition on 18 to 29-year-olds and minority voters. when it's heavily dependent on that group on off years it's tailor made for republicans to win. that's why cuccinelli is the favorite for governor. >> looked at the polls. you see this baggage that cuccinelli brings to this. i was down in virginia on election day last year, i was in northern virginia, prince william county and i remember talking to republicans in the state on election day and they were basically saying they we
