Sorry, Democrats in Virginia, it wasn't just a rumor. The case against gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe seems to be substantial, according to the Washington Post. Here's their trailer piece:

Drat. I like Ken Cuccinelli for Governor, but I would've liked to see viable electric cars being made, sold, and used in Virginia.
