Republican shot

Mark Silk has unearthed the template for a successful Republican candidate in 2010: One who makes hay by "minimizing the social conservatism of his past and reaching out to moderates" at election time.

Inspired by the Virginia gubernatorial face-off, successful application of that model also requires an incompetent Democratic opponent who can't both build coalitions and successfully call fake.
