The Republican double standard

“When you oppose the Republican Party nominee for the top office in the state, you are not a Republican.”

Sen. Ken Cuccinelli (R-Fairfax), in The Washington Post, March 23, 2005

Question: When will the Republican Party of Virginia ask former Republican Governor Linwood Holton to leave the party? In case you missed it, he’s supporting Democrat Tim Kaine for the top office in the state. In case you missed it, so are thousands of other Virginia Republicans. When will you try to run them off? What is your strategy these days? Do you somehow think you can shrink to greatness?
