Which is so totally off the subject of whether or not he might have switched just a percent of soccer moms in Northern Virginia and helped Cooch win…….
Not really. What happened yesterday is in the rear view mirror. Gotta look forward from here.
I think his point was, if Cucinelli gets out the GOP base, who cares about 15% of soccer moms switching their votes?
Besides, soccer moms are part of the nonthinking distaff half of the overall voter population -- the Hillary Cluster, remember? They have no [censored] idea what "sovereignty" is and what it means to them (no toll of boys for Turkish seraglios, no slave-markets in Dubai selling American women, that kind of thing), they vote solely on "cluster" (boy, that's half the right word!) issues.
But notice, as Rush was saying today, that Cucinelli came very close without GOP-E/Party help, without CrispyKreme, with just his own base.
Rush was also pointing out that Dems and GOP-E's have been lying for years and moving the goalposts (his figure of rhetoric) on how much of what sort of voters "moderate" Republicans need to inveigle in order to win.
But Cucinelli almost won without inveigling, without substantial help from the Chamber, the Business Roundtable bundlers, the GOP. Chamber contributions in the Va. governor's race went from $1,000,000 last cycle to ... zero. And GOP party support fell by 70%, because Cucinelli was a hated Tea Partier.
But he still came very close, with NO help n/w/s his appeal, and without campaigning like Mitt Romney. And here endeth the lesson.
Not quite the example of "beware -- nominate no Tea Partiers!" that the GOP (and the Dems) would like to take into 2014 and 2016.
