In old age, as in first childhood, we live on the brink of another realm, surrounded by ghosts and by terrors.

Might be a bit unfair, but these two tweets, arriving moments apart, seem to belong together.
One of the worst gubernatorial candidates in recent Republican history is, surprise surprise, getting hammered http://t.co/GynBKaRN5f

Few people—if anyone—predicted this outcome, but here it is. Terry McAuliffe is about to become governor of Virginia, while Ken Cuccinelli will soon leave politics as one of the least successful gubernatorial candidates in recent Republican history. And as for the Virginia GOP as an institution? Be prepared for an open civil war, as the establishment tries to win its party back from an extreme, uncompromising base.
It’s not clear what lessons the national parties can draw from this, but my hope is that moderate Virginia Republicans find some success. If at least one chunk of the GOP can stop the Tea Party from crashing its brand into the sea, then—maybe—it’s possible for others to do the same and help return Republican Party sanity, if not competence.
