Virginia Governor Race: Biden, Obama Rally For Democrat Terry McAuliffe

In the past two days leading up to election day in Virginia, both President Obama and Vice President Biden campaigned on behalf of Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe, CNN reported.

On Monday, Biden shaped the election as a race against the tea party.

"I'm not just here for Terry. I'm not just here because I'm a Democrat. I'm here because this race matters well beyond the state of Virginia," Biden said at the campaign event in Annandale, Virginia.

"It's the first major race between the forces and faces of the new Republican tea party, a tea party whose social recidivism is outdone only by its hostility to science and technology, innovation and scholarship."

In addition to support of the vice president, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee was joined by President Obama on Sunday at an event in Arlington.

Obama condemned Cuccinelli, the current attorney general, for his government views and attempt to sue a scientist for research on climate change.

"We will not create jobs when you focus on things like attacking Social Security," he said. "It doesn't create jobs when you go after scientists, and you try to offer your own alternative theories of how things work and engage in litigation around stuff that isn't political. You don't create jobs and help the people of Virginia by trying to restrict the health care choices that women make."

Recent polls have been in favor of McAuliffe, who currently leads Republican candidate Ken Cuccinelli 46 percent to 40 percent in a Quinnipiac poll released Monday.

Additionally, McAuliffe has raised $14 million more than Cuccinelli according to U.S. News & World Report.

Obama, who was the first Democratic president to win Virginia since 1964 when he was first elected, warned voters to not become too sure of a win for McAuliffe despite poll numbers and support.

"Nothing makes me more nervous than when my supporters start feeling too confident, so I want to put the fear of God in all of you," he said. "Virginia, historically, has always been a swing state and this race will be close, because past races in Virginia have always been close. The question is going to be whether or not you are willing to out-work the other side."
