ZitatTea Party favorite Ken Cuccinelli, abandoned by the Republican establishment as too "extreme" to win in Virginia, crushed Democrat Terry McAuliffe among independent voters by 9 percentage points, 47%-38%. The key to McAuliffe's victory was that the Democrat--assisted by the ruthless data-mining operation that fueled Barack Obama's 2012 re-election--turned out his party's base, while conservative voters were divided.
Cuccinelli's winning margin among independent voters was only slightly lower than Mitt Romney's 12-point margin in 2012. Romney also lost the state, however, after failing to bring conservative voters to the polls and mounting a lackluster a get-out-the-vote operation that was badly understaffed. (While Project ORCA failed, Tea Party activists from out of state manned polling places for Romney on their own initiative.)
I'm sick of hearing about Project ORCA. It makes my stomach churn. It couldn't have failed because of lack of funding. We're talking Romney money.

This is the loser the GOPe thought was the guy to develop the get out the vote strategy called ORCA and why it was a disaster.
Romney won Independents and still lost = horrible candidate.
Cuccinelli won Independents and still lost = great candidate.
Cuccineli won Independents by not pandering to them at the expense of his base. Romney sold the base out for Independents when he started claiming he wanted to keep pieces of Zerocare that suited his level of Progressivism.
I'm a simple person and I look for simple answers.
Cuccinelli should have started the hard-core Obamacare slamming a lot sooner. Everything I have read or heard said he only started doing it the last couple of weeks, and it was working BIG for him.
The GOP needs to get over their aversion to wrestling pigs. If they don't the pigs will just continue to win, because some animals are more equal than others.

Ken wanted to take on Zerocare, but as we have just found out, he was off the air in VA totally for two weeks because the RNC pulled their funding Oct 1st.

It's tedious.
What is really tedious is what a little troll you are by constantly defending failure and incompetence by the RNC/GOP/RNSC/Rove types who consistently bring losses time after time.
Your constant nonstop unrestrained bullshit here constantly talking down Conservatism and the Tea party has driven off a good number of solid people. A mirror site wasn't created just for the hell of it. It was created to avoid the asinine third grade shit you traffic in 24/7 you humorless piece of trash.
