Nov. 05--In a finale to his struggling campaign, Republican Ken Cuccinelli was embraced at a Richmond rally Monday night by tea party favorite Ron Paul and declared the Virginia governor's race a prelude to a statehouse fight over implementing President Barack Obama's troubled health care reform.

"Virginia is the next battleground for Obamacare," said Cuccinelli, alluding to a possible expansion of Medicaid under the federal health care overhaul. "I have an opponent who says Obamacare doesn't go far enough.... Why would we expand a proven failure?"

In 2010, Cuccinelli was the first state attorney general to challenge the Affordable Care Act in federal court.

Paul, a former Texas congressman who has run for president as a Libertarian and as a Republican, told about 400 Cuccinelli supporters at the Greater Richmond Convention Center that Cuccinelli is a fighter whom Democrats "want to humiliate (because they) stand up to the federal government."

Urging Cuccinelli's election, Paul said -- without mentioning Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe by name -- "that other guy (will) be nothing more than a buddy of Obama and (New York City Mayor Michael) Bloomberg."

Earlier Monday, in Culpeper, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., lent his conservative star power to help get out the vote for Virginia's Republican ticket, braving chilly temperatures and political headwinds in the D.C. ex- urb.

Rubio and Cuccinelli focused on what has become the key opponent in the race -- not McAuliffe, but the Affordable Care Act.

"Only six people signed up for it on the first day, and the problem with that is they had promised free steak knives to the seventh," Rubio quipped to the bundled-up audience of around 200 supporters.

They gathered in Yowell Meadow Park to see Cuccinelli, lieutenant governor hopeful E.W. Jackson and state Sen. Mark Obenshain, who is running for attorney general.

"I think clearly this is one of the first opportunities that Americans have had to speak out on the role of federal government in the aftermath of the implementation of Obamacare, which is hurting real people," Rubio told reporters.

Speaking at a rally for Virginia GOP gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli on Monday, former congressman and libertarian darling Ron Paul claimed to see nullification of federal law by the states in the near future.

According to Politico, Paul told a crowd of Cuccinelli supporters that Ive been working on the assumption that nullification is going to come. Its going to be a de facto nullification. Its ugly, but pretty soon things are going to get so bad that were just going to ignore the feds and live our own lives in our own states.

Beyond promoting nullification, the 19th century doctrine, popular in the antebellum South, which held that states had the right to invalidate any federal law they deem unconstitutional, Paul urged Cuccinellis followers to stand up to the authoritarians.

Theyre dictators, Paul said.

Paul also railed against Obamacare, calling its funding mechanisms evil and arguing theyll create class warfare, generational warfare.

More from Politico:

Cuccinelli brought Paul in to limit the bleeding of support to Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis, who has pulled double digits in some polls and threatens to be a spoiler Tuesday.

Paul, who won 40.5 percent in a two-way Virginia Republican primary against Mitt Romney last year, did not mention Sarvis by name, but he attacked him for floating a tax on the number of miles a car drives.

Thats insane, said Paul. What kind of an invasion of privacy is that! Ken is quite correct on the tax issue: no new taxes.

Paul said Cuccinelli has established a reputation for being unyielding, where you know hes not gonna back down.
