Dougherty’s Law and the Blame Game: The Truth About Cuccinelli’s Loss

In 2006, Michael Brendan Dougherty described the habitual lament of digruntled Republicans: “If it were more like me, the Republican Party would be better off. It’s failing because it’s like you.” Whenever Republicans lose, we are forced to witness the ugly spectacle of this sectarian internecine blame game re-enacted, a tradition that dates back at […]

When Virginia Rubs The Lotion On Its Skin, The Victim Can Blame Itself

by Smitty UPDATE: Mis-attribution fixed. Sorry, Adjoran. Blame Robert Sarvis. 🙂 Stacy put about the best possible spin on matters last night. As with Lonegan in NJ, saying the candidate “beat the spread” is thin gruel. I disagree with Adjoran[‘s responder]: Nope, you can blame Robert Sarvis of the Libertarian Party for Cuccinelli’s defeat.

Term Limits: Up The Bar

by Smitty Everybody loves to hate every other district’s and state’s incumbent Representatives and Senators.

Thus, mounting a primary challenge to an incumbent […]

Ron Paul Endorses @KenCuccinelli, @DMataconis Hardest Hit
