If you don't protest, you accept

Ken Cuccinelli has stated that he won't be defending his running mates now or any time in the future. That could be because his running mates, especially the most Reverend E. W. Jackson, are indefensible. While Cuccinelli has stated he won't defend Jackson, he has also stated he wants him as llieutenant governor breaking ties in the deadlocked Senate.  Sorry Ken....you can't have it both ways.  You either agree with your running mate and defend his positions or you speak out against them.  You got what you wanted with your convention.  You forced out moderate republicans to guarantee your victory however you made the same mistake national repubicans are making.  You can't control crazy.  So Ken, you have a choice to make.  Either repudiate your running mate and sound reasonable, or try to keep him at arm's length and hope that the electorate won't tie the two of you together.  

My personal opinion?  You won't repudiate him because you can't.  You agree with him and you don't want to alienate the only real base you have....the teapublicans.  255,826 repubicans cast a ballot in the 2012 U. S. Senate Primary when the Reverend got less than 5% of the vote.   Your convention went pup tent (as opposed to the big tent you guys love to talk about) with 8,094 people attending and voting.  You disenfranchised moderate republicans to pack the house with your tinfoil hat friends.  You got what you wanted.  Man up now and be vocal in your support of the most Reverend E. W. Jackson and Mark Obenschain.  Let the electorate see your true colors!
