Failed Republican Senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum is reportedly going to lead a strike force to help save the flailing, and failing, Republican candidate for governor in Virginia, Ken Cuccinelli, who is two weeks away from losing badly to Democrat Terry McAuliffe.
Of course, the bigger question on everyones minds is whether Rick Santorum can save Ken Cuccinelli from Dan Savage.
Dan, as many of you know, is a writer, journalist, activist, sex advice columnist, and all around good guy. Well, Dan was in DC a week or so ago speaking at an event, I suspect on tour for his new book American Savage, when he got on to the topic of Ken Cuccinelli.
Cuccinelli, of course, is a bit of a religious right winger, to put it mildly. Cuccinelli doesnt much care for gays, or women, or anybody else who isnt exactly like him. For example, one of the big policy goals Cuccinelli is seeking is a ban on all oral sex gay and straight, married and single in Virginia. (Were still waiting for Mrs. Cuccinelli to swear under oath that she and the hubby have stayed true to his public ideals on the matter.)

(16,184 posts)We tried bringing in Ted Cruz, but then he had to go be a dick in Congress. Then we got Mr and Mrs Clown Car, but somehow bringing in reality TV stars didn't work out as well as we hoped.
I know! The sweatervest guy! Sweatervests play well here, right? We can nab the blah people bloc!
