...effectively anyway.
RICHMOND Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II made scant reference to the federal shutdown and said nothing at all about Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.) on Saturday, when the two Republicans both addressed a conservative group.
But Cuccinelli, the GOP nominee for governor, met privately with Cruz before the event and urged him to find a solution to the shutdown, his campaign said.
In Va. governors race, the Democrat calls on the Republican to denounce the federal government shutdown.
The GOP candidate for governor makes no mention of the leading government shutdown figure.
Democrats have pounded Cuccinelli all week over his plans to appear at a Family Foundation dinner headlined by Cruz, widely considered the architect of the shutdown as a means of defunding the Affordable Care Act. Cuccinelli has said repeatedly that he disagrees with the tactic despite his fierce opposition the federal health-care law known informally as Obamacare.
...and Cruz is supposed to be the latest 'genuine' conservative who can prove to the Republican Party that it needs to move further to the right to win national elections??
Indeed.
