What Cuccineli did right

Bearing Drift continues to offer lessons from the past election.
If your lesson is "blame Cuccinelli," it might not help next time.
I’m sure you’re ready to ask me why, if Ken got so much right, he still lost.  My answer to that is simple:  I don’t think anybody on our side could have won this year.  Not Bolling, not McDonnell, not George Allen, not anybody else we could have nominated.   Think about it this way – the Democrats nominated their weakest gubernatorial candidate in pretty much forever and he still won.  There was something more than just campaign tactics at work here against us.
