Highlights from the Richmond Times-Dispatch Opinion:

Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli rigged the process for the Republican nomination when his minions changed the system from a primary to a convention, which they considered more likely to produce their desired outcome. The switch mocked Cuccinelli’s advertised fealty to first principles. The expression of raw power would have delighted sachems of Tammany Hall. Virginia does not welcome an in-your-face governor.

On social issues such as abortion and homosexual rights, Cuccinelli not only takes stands that are objectionable but pursues his divisive agenda with a stridency that was unbecoming in an attorney general and would be unbecoming in a governor. Cuccinelli’s approach to personhood and to regulations on clinics is troubling.

As AG, [Cuccinelli] stressed things he did not have to, and, if he stayed in character, he would do the same as governor.

kakapoooo

Yep, the Kook broke the tradition of more genteel times in Virginia. Bolling was next in line for a crack at the Governor's mansion. The Kook didn't want to wait his turn.

The result: Governor Terry McAuliffe.

You forgot this part...

"On energy generally, McAuliffe has spun like a top and now supports items he once opposed, such as the exploration for energy sources off Virginia’s shores. Cuccinelli and Sarvis did not need electoral considerations to persuade them to do the right thing. McAuliffe’s endorsement of the EPA’s new regulations on coal-fired power plants counters sentiment in Virginia’s coalfields, nevertheless."

"McAuliffe styles himself a businessman and entrepreneur. He inhabits the crossroads where the public and private sectors intersect and sometimes collide. His experience with GreenTech does not generate confidence. He located the plant in Mississippi, which is not known for its social enlightenment. The company has not lived up to expectations. If it eventually does, no credit will accrue to McAuliffe, for he has, he says, stepped away from it. He is not the reincarnation of Henry Ford.His ignorance of state government is laughable and makes Rick Perry, the notorious governor of Texas, look like a Founding Father."

Instead of stepping aside for the very electable Bill Bolling, the Cooch has condemned us to four years of Terry Mac's crooked shenanigans.

So long Cooch, you fucked us good.

I can't believe these are the two choices we get. How pathetic. I won't vote it appears the Kookster will lose - otherwise I will hold my nose and vote for Mcauwfull.
