Jim Geraghty has a good round-up of the races in Virginia. I have my eye on two candidates in particular:

1. Ken Cuccinelli’s bid for AG. He’s probably the most conservative candidate in the three statewide elections (governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general). If he wins tomorrow — and he’s doing well in the polls — he could become the choice of conservatives for governor in 2013. Virginia limits governors to one term, so McDonnell (assuming he wins) wouldn’t be able to seek re-election.

2. Rafael Lopez in the House of Delegates, District 52, in eastern Prince William County. Democrat Luke Torian should win this race: This part of the county leans Democratic, he has a big lead in campaign funds, and he’s the pastor of a large church whose members are good bets to vote in this low-turnout year. But Lopez, his Republican opponent, could pull an upset. The current, retiring officeholder is a member of the GOP. Moreover, Lopez brought in a big gun last week: Rudy Giuliani stumped for him. How many state-legislative candidates get that kind of a boost? Someone thinks he stands a chance. A Lopez victory would signal a big year for Republicans in Virginia.
