Translation: "By keeping them out of the debates, we can keep them at 1-2% of the vote and not be a challenge to my quest for more power."Noting that Cuccinelli had challenged his Democratic opponent, Terry McAuliffe, to a series of 15 debates around the state, the Charlottesville Libertarian Examiner asked him whether he was open to including Robert Sarvis, the Libertarian Party's nominee for governor, in those events.
“Not really, no,” Cuccinelli replied. “I mean, he's going to be a one or two percent vote getter and I just don't think that's realistic.”
He tempered his response by adding, “It's not that I have anything against him. I just don't think it's realistic.”
