I got the previous impression he didn’t much care if he handed the election to McAuliffe or not if he could have swamped Cuccinelli’s boat without shooting himself in the foot politically.
At his heart I believe Bill is a nice guy and I think he was bitter that he just wasn’t given the next run for Governor. I’m glad he didn’t allow that bitterness and sense of entitlement to totally warp him into a tool for the Democrats. Regardless it was becoming clear that he wasn’t going to succeed in swamping Cuccinelli’s boat though it wasn’t going to help. There are those in VA GOP politics who are upset that Cuccinelli is running for Governor not because they are afraid he wont will but because they fear he will. Cuccinelli’s success could mark a turning point where a lot of the good old boy GOP who not too many years ago were Democrats will find themselves powerless.
