Virginia Elections 2013: An Obamacare Referendum?
What do you think? Republicans focusing on healthcare overhaul in final push to Election Day.

byĀ Greg Hambrick
Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli has had a tough time getting voters to absorb anyĀ of his attacks on Democrat Terry McAuliffe.
But, in the final days of a bruising campaign from both candidates, Cuccinelli isĀ focusing on Obamacare, the healthcare reform led byĀ President Barack Obama that has struggled in the first weeks of new policyĀ registration.
What do you think? Should McAuliffe and Virginia DemocratsĀ be held responsible for the Obamacare rollout? Would it send a message to Washington?
āIn the final days of the campaign, Terry McAuliffe is joining President Obama and Vice President Biden for a celebration of Obamacare,ā Cuccinelli communications director Richard Cullen told Politico in regards to planned get-out-the-vote events this weekend.
Cuccinelli's attacks areĀ not surprising ā the administration has been playing defense since the Oct. 1 rollout. Significant websiteĀ issues persist and some have lostĀ existing insurance policiesĀ because they don't meet new standards.
