The results of the Virginia election should be enough to cause a revolt within the GOP. But nothing will come of it.
I sympathize with Cuccinelli. But Reagan was portrayed as a wild-eyed crazy by the media every time he ran for office. When he went up against Carter in 1980, he was slammed as a senile old crazy who would get us all killed in a nuclear war. He won anyway. Politicians win because of superior political skills, not their political views. Cuccinelli went through trial by election, and was found wanting. Superior politicians anticipate everything, look for ways to respond effectively within their resource constraints and find a way to win.
I just went to RNC website and gave them a piece of my mind. Someone else on FR recommended doing so.
