mr. mcauliffe has a slight advantage, but remember the four-point edge that he has is still within the margin of error, so this still remains a tight race. >> michael: and the only ones who could blow an open net would be the democrats not knowing what to do with it. the cuccenelli is running a mcauliffe ad on their website. how dirty do we expect this to get? >> so far there have been a lot of sharp elbows. there have been a release of treeoffed ads between late last week and this week all going negative orders mr. cuccenelli. ads against mr. cuccenelli. democrats have gone at hit over his stand on social security, and they have gone after him on women's issues. they're going after him. but meanwhile while the cuccenelli campaign has not gone after terry mcauliffe negatively in a televised ad, they certainly have been very negative as well. every day they come after him with things like war on coal his business record 37 any number of things. about the union interests, a lot of sharp elbows. this is likely going to be an expensive race, one that much of the country one that the political jun
