Cuccinelli on how to make people almost come out & vote

I  have other things to do than watch the GOP convention, so I just caught up with the day’s festivities via social media. I gather that Ken Cuccinelli of Virginia threw down his credentials at one point. (Annoyed with the GOP? What a concept!) When I read that, I recalled something Cuccinelli said in 2005, when many GOP candidates in his state found themselves on the losing end of things.  Eleven years later, it’s still an apt caution.

“We ran on a message of almost being for tax cuts, almost for smaller government, almost for protecting Second Amendment rights, and almost being pro-life. As a result, the voters almost came out and voted for us.” 

(That quote came from a Wall Street Journal article entitled “How to Turn a Red State Blue.”)
