It’s about reassurance, not only for a state party splintered by dissension but for a national party stung by a string of losses.
“It’s critical,” said Del. Steve Landes, R-Weyers Cave.
The gubernatorial race will be shaped Tuesday in the Democratic primary. Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe has led in most polls but state Sen. Creigh Deeds, of Bath County, has pulled ahead in one with the wire in sight. Former Del. Brian Moran, of Alexandria, trails both.
McDonnell, the former state attorney general, awaits the winner. He’s at the top of a unified GOP state ticket. Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling is seeking re-election. Ken Cuccinelli is vying to follow McDonnell as attorney general.
