re: #2 Skip Intro

South Carolina voters were “distancing” themselves from Mark Sanford, too, until they elected him.

Being a serial adulterer or batshit insane are requirements if you want support from the GOP base these days.

Yeah well I like to think that my state’s voters are more sane than South Carolina’s. The GOP base here though does love Cuccinelli. He’s a real hit with the base because his so-con bullshit is genuine. Think of him as like Santorum but without the sympathetic part of having lost a child due to miscarriage and having another who has a terrible disease.
