The race between Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and businessman Terry McAuliffe is close, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

Seven candidates are vying for the spot. With such a large pool, a frontrunner is hard to pick.
Seven Republican candidates are gunning to be nominated for Lt. Governor at the Virginia Republican Convention on May 17 and 18, and who will win is anybody’s guess. The candidates will have to appeal to the majority of a few thousand Republican Party activists at the Richmond Convention Center. “When you’re talking about any contest involving seven candidates, it’s like a hockey faceoff – who knows who’s going to end up with the puck?” said Stephen Farnsworth, a political science professor at University of Mary Washington. “You’re not really going to know who the nominee will be until you’re actually inside the hall, and even then it may not be clear.” Whoever is nominated will run against the winner of the June 11 Democratic primary …

The Virginia Republican Party will nominate its candidates during a convention in two weeks, and some experts have weighed in on the system.
When Virginia’s Republican Party made a last-minute decision to nominate candidates for the 2013 election in a convention instead of a primary, it prompted Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling to withdraw his name from the race for governor. The move made Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia’s current attorney general, the GOP’s de facto nominee for governor. He's expected to be officially nominated during the Virginia Republican Convention on May 17 and 18 in Richmond. (See our guide to the convention right here.) See Also: Poll: Does the Virginia GOP Convention Represent True Democracy? Bolling said he dropped out of the race because he didn’t agree with the convention system, arguing that it made the nomination exlusionary. “Conventions are by their very nature …
