re: #347 moderatelyradicalliberal

McDonnell’s moderate sheen is gone after the hard social right turn he’s taken. Women in VA are pissed at him and the GOP. It’s not a blood read state anymore. He was doing fine with a Democratic Legislature, but after the Repubs took over he’s let his freak flag fly. I’m guessing VA is due for another realignment in 2012. Like so many other purple states.

Yeah, but he plays well with the Southern crowd. “Confederate History Month,” anyone? And while it may piss off the womenfolk, the God-botherers and their ilk will love him for trying to make abortions harder to get, even if he had to “compromise” by making the wanding optional.
