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?
