GOP Revival: There's An App for That
What Ramesh Ponnuru has written about Tuesday's wins is right in so many ways: More important, a few Republican candidates have demonstrated that it is possible to transcend the party's conservative-moderate divide. In Virginia, Robert McDonnell won a landslide — the first Republican win in a governor's race there in 12 years — by running as a problem solver. Social conservatives know he is one of them.
