McAuliffe will squeak out the win and people will point out the Tea Party connection hurt the Republicans here they should also remember Obamacare hurt the Democrats making this race a lot closer than it probably should have been. If this dissatisfaction with Obamacare continues this could be a major problem for Democrats in the midterms.
The fact McAuliffe isn't running away with this race spells doom for Democrats in the midterms and the presidential election. If he doesn't win by 5%+ it will show that the Obamacare failure swayed the election late.
This is a lose lose situation for liberals.
Pre-election polls predicted McAuliffe would win by 6%. If he wins by a tiny margin this is not a good sign.
