Can This Virginia Governor's Race Be For Realz?

Right-wing stalwarts RCP has the average as +10 for McAuliffe AND the insane teabaggers at Rasmussen have it +17 for the Dem.  Can that be real?  McAuliffe is a huge Clintonite douchebag and one of the worst candidates ever AND this is Virginia which is full of idiots, so is this right?  Are the Republicans fucking this up that badly?
