And the state was getting high marks for being well run and a good place to do business. Unfortunately the past governor couldn’t convince his family to keep their “hands out of the cookie jar” and we ended up with the carpetbagger. Every GOP member of the legislature needs to remember they have a target painted on their back and must keep their affairs squeeky clean in these tenuous times.
It went beyond the McDonnell, tho that was pretty clever of Holder and his DOJ to make the family’s woes a federal case. There was Lt Gov Bolling and Rove, and the GOP national establishment that all backed away from Cuccinnelli. He did the most unRepublican of all things, stepping out of turn.
