First, his own benefits:

I almost hate to do this, because, as Virginia's answer to Sarah Palin, he lives for publicity. Still, here's the profile in the NYT:

Ken Cuccinelli Takes on Obama Health Care - And Wins Round One

His quick rise to power in Virginia, where he became the state’s top lawyer in 2009, has given Mr. Cuccinelli a state – and even national – platform from which to argue those views. And just as he was in the state legislature, Mr. Cuccinelli is blunt, outspoken and supremely confident about his positions.

“I start with a concern about the growth of federal government,” Mr. Cuccinelli said in the interview. “I start with a perspective concerned about the growth of that power, and containing it within the bounds of the Constitution.”

A virtual unknown outside of Virginia, Mr. Cuccinelli is beginning to get noticed as he takes on the health care battle. He has begun appearing on national talk shows. And he is fund-raising well beyond the borders of his state. Within hours of the judge’s decision on Monday, his political Web-site was advertising on the conservative drudgereport.com and other Web-sites.

“Help us fight off the liberal attacks as we work to defend the Constitution,” says a page on his fund-raising Web site. In a video message on the site, Mr. Cuccinelli says: “It’s the 21st Century version of the ‘shot heard ’round the world.’ Of course, that doesn’t mean we’ve won the war. And the liberal left will be on the attack. Will you help me fight their offensive today?”

1. He may be a nutball, but in this case, I agree with him.

2. He's not a nutball;

he's a worm. He says anything to get face time and to get quoted. He's a typical media whore who wants to rise in the repuke party just like cream and bastards. He doesn't care anything about Virginia citizens. He's a perfect match for McDonnell.
