Cuccinelli: Appealing to Women Politically Means Focusing on the "mentally ill"

Also, Cuccinelli believed the rumors (0.00 / 0)

Apparently, Cuccinelli bought into the "Obama pulling out of Virginia" stories.  As he quotes elsewhere in the article:

Here in Virginia, the president's team worked better than we did. They had four times the staff, which we didn't know until after the election, and they also were working smarter.

You'd really have to have your head in the sand to not know that Romney's campaign staff was outnumbered by Obama's in Virginia.

He may have a point. (4.00 / 1)

Seems to me the only women attracted to Cooch are those who need mental health services.

He's Not Ready For Prime Time (0.00 / 0)

This is a stream of consciousness response that goes unchallenged among the true believers. In his mind he is saying something that is without challenge: there are positions, like support for mental health issues, many women embrace that intersect in the Venn diagram with his beliefs. But he then extrapolates that to positions he holds that women who agree with him on all things embrace, abortion for instance, and because he believes his views are "good" for women, by extension, all women should embrace.

I am trying to make sense of mush here. Let him talk.

There is evidence that if you are not fully on board with him, however, even if you agree with him, you can't be right:

You're running for governor against Terry McAuliffe. Are there any areas of agreement between the two of you?

We're both motivated to increase employment in Virginia, though I also want to increase economic activity, and I strongly suspect we have very different ideas about how that may best be achieved.

Really? Ken says in addition to increased employment, he "also wants to increase economic activity?" Somehow Terry would work to increase employment but tamp down economic activity? Is that the difference between them? No, I personally interpret this to mean both want to increase economic activity but Ken would cut taxes while Terry would increase government spending.

That is not what he said, though, nor what Terry has said and while for his usual audience statements without substance are sufficient this isn't going to work with a broader, discerning electorate. It just won't be enough to say, "I don't agree with Terry" to convince them to vote for him.

Both of these examples are revealing in their own ways. What they reveal is that in his head if everyone agreed with him, the world would be a far better place, because then there would be nothing in the world disagreeable, or something to that effect. His way or the highway.

Dinner at his house has got to be an experience.
