If there is anyone in Virginia who is the Christian equivalent of ayatollahs governing Iran its Ken "Kookinelli" Cuccinelli who in some ways makes Rick "Frothy Mix" Santorum look fairly rational. Kooch thinks that he and Virginia are above the U.S. Constitution and he never hesitates to inflict his extremist religious views into the civil laws. The very thought of him as governor must send the Christofascists at The Family Foundation into near orgasm. For those not clinically insane or favoring a Christian Taliban like theocracy, Cuccinelli ought to make one's blood run cold. The man is a menace and would destroy what's left of Virginia's reputation on both the national and international scene. Yet the ever more extreme and backward thinking Virginia GOP seems to think Kooch is their man for 2013. One can only hope that something arises to derail the insanity - perhaps one of the unconfirmed claims I receive from time to time that that Kooch likes cock will be verified (he certainly seems to fit the profile of the self-loathing closet case revealed in the University of Rochester study of homophobes). Here are highlights from a Virginian Pilot article on the Virginia GOP's growing insanity:
Six months after jumping into the race, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli holds an overwhelming lead over Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling in the contest for the 2013 Republican nomination for governor, according to a poll released Wednesday.
Among 549 Republican and Republican-leaning voters surveyed May 30 through Monday, Cuccinelli has more than a 3-1 edge, 51 percent to 15 percent, in the Quinnipiac University poll.
Cuccinelli's huge advantage extends across all GOP demographic groups. He leads among Republican men 55-20 percent, women 46-9 percent, conservatives 54-15 percent, moderates 45-15 percent, white evangelical Christians 51-15 percent, and tea-party supporters 67-8 percent.
His lead over Bolling in the new survey is much wider than in previous polls, said Larry Sabato, a political scientist at the University of Virginia. But Sabato cautioned against taking any poll too seriously a year before the nomination.
"You can argue about whether he is a substantial favorite or a heavy favorite, but it's one or the other," Sabato said. "That doesn't mean that he'll win. Lots of things change once you actually get into the election campaign."
For one thing, he said, McDonnell is expected to campaign extensively for Bolling. For another, if Republican Mitt Romney manages to defeat President Barack Obama this fall, he would be likely to lend Bolling a hand as well.
Let's hope Sabato is correct and Cuccinelli is tossed onto the trash heap of history where he belongs - or admitted to a mental institution.
