We entered a truly surreal political realm during the presidential election, when it fell to Peggy Noonan to serve as a voice of reason among conservatives. That job has since transferred to Dan Quayle, with Tom Coburn stepping into the role of “Reasonable Republican.”
And in the latest development, Virginia — after electing Rob McDonnel governor and Ken Cucinelli state attorney general — has been serving up doses of reality to conservatives. The evidence is McDonnell’s high profile “mulligans” or “do-overs,” before he’s even had the time to wear a decent grove in the governors’ seat.
