A Dark, Dark Horse for 2016

David Catanese says that Ken Cuccinelli (R) could be the GOP’s next big
star if he wins Virginia’s gubernatorial race this fall.

“If indeed he’s able
to dispatch former Democratic National Committee chairman and
uber-fundraiser Terry McAuliffe just as Republicans are enduring a
wrenching period of soul-searching about their identity, his timing
could be impeccable. He has the social conservative street cred of Rick
Santorum, speaks the libertarian language of Rand Paul, and brandishes
the constitutional acumen of Ted Cruz. And if he captures the
governorship, odds are he’ll have a longer list of tangible achievements
in two years than Marco Rubio racks up in five. He’ll also, surely,
have a longer list of controversies.”
