The expansion of medicaid is an important issue in the Virginia Governor’s race. McAuliffe believes medicaid should be expanded; the expansion of medicaid could help the economy by creating jobs and could help in other areas, such as education. Cuccinelli believes medicaid should not be expanded. He believes the money should go to better programs. Each candidate had multiple attack ads on the other candidate. Mcauliffe focuses on Cuccinelli being a “woman hater” and Cuccinelli attacks Mcauliffe for spending money on unnecessary programs. Another important issue in the governor’s race  is abortion. Cuccinelli believes abortion should be banned altogether, even in cases of rape and incest. He believes laws should be much stricter. McAuliffe believes the abortion laws should stay the same. He believes abortion should be the woman’s choice.
