Meet Dick Black, Who Thinks Husbands Can’t Rape Their Wives and Is Running for Congress

The next two years are going to be critical ones for the Republican Party. Will they be able to moderate and return to nominating candidates who are conservative but not completely nutty, or will the party continue to drift rightward as hard-line conservatives use the primary system—or even just the threat of being primaried—to push the party further away from anything resembling mainstream America? The House race in Virginia's 10th congressional district is shaping up to be a litmus test of this question. Rep. Frank Wolf, a Republican who has represented the district since 1980, is set to retire, and the race to replace him as the Republican nominee is, once again, turning out to be a contest between a conservative and one of those colorful, off-the-charts right-wingers who seems designed to make elections easy for Democrats.
