Cuccinelli predicts that win in NoVA won’t suffice to carry VA in upcoming elections


In order to explain Democratic Party victories in the U.S. Senate, U.S. Presidency, and the state governorship, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli recently offered the following conclusion: it’s the federal government, stupid!

Cuccinelli, in his infinite wisdom, stated that “They [federal government dependent employees and businesses] are obviously, generally, pro-federal government. And that tends to be pro-Democrat instead of Republican.”[1]

Virginia’s Attorney General then went on to predict that President Obama and the Democratic Party won’t generate enough votes in Northern Virginia to carry the commonwealth. “They’ve got to win so big in Northern Virginia to overcome the rest of the state,” Cuccinelli stated.[2]

Unfortunately for Cuccinelli and his party of old-school, get-your-wife-in-the-kitchen, conservatives, the GOP has a couple of months left to bury itself even further in the upcoming elections with its undisciplined and out of touch public comments like the one made recently by U.S. Senate candidate Tom Smith (R-PA).[3]

With all of the gaffes that have been made by Republican Party candidates, it’s a wonder that the grand old party is even still a relevant political body.

Alas, somehow the GOP remains a viable party in U.S. politics, but with the tensions inside the party made manifest this week in Florida[4], who’s to say that the GOP won’t split into separate political camps, giving the Democratic Party more than enough political room to win comfortably in the November elections?
