This whole piece reads like it was written by a Conservative-loathing Concern Troll.
Well, I know Henry Olsen, and he’s a conservative, not a cobservative-loather. While I think that he is exaggerating the threat of an independent political movement replacing the Republicans, he is correct that the GOP needs to walk the walk on fiscal issues if we are to attract the Tea Party set and keep our majority coalition together. And the McDonnell example shows that one can win as a 100% conservative even in an Obama state like VA if one has the right kind of campaign style.
