RICHMOND, Va. — Registrars in Virginia say turnout is light as voters pick a Democratic nominee for governor. The choices are former Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe, state Sen. Creigh (CREE) Deeds and former state House Democratic Caucus leader Brian Moran. Combined, they've raised a state record $15 million with the November election against Republican Bob McDonnell still five months off. Election and party officials believe less than 5 percent of the state's 5 million registered voters will take part.
