No, I haven't forgotten, I just wish you were wrong (even though you're not). So, to help people not forget, I guess we'll have to make sure we keep calling him Gov. Ultrasound. Kind of catchy, don't you think? It'll be harder to forget if the name sticks.

His views were well known before the election (along with Ken Cuccinelli who is even worse) yet lots of women voted for him for governor. A lot of women supported him through the ultrasound nonsense and continue to support him now. If he spends the next couple of years campaigning, as I believe he will, people will forget (or ignore) what he has said and done before.

Again, Gov. Ultrasound cannot be forgotten. Women in Virginia may have supported him but I think his chances with the national womens vote will be more difficult. And I'm sure Rachel Maddow won't forget about him. She's invited him on her show many times but he's too much of a coward to show up.

Of course, a lot will depend upon who else decides to run. I expect Rick Perry will throw his hat in the ring again (and probably miss) along with Paul Ryan. Marco Rubio is clearly being groomed for bigger and better things, although he may choose to wait a few years longer. I also have a sneaking suspicion that Ted Cruz may try his hand at a presidential campaign.

Its really early but there's only one Republican I think has a chance in a general election - Chris Christie. But I also don't think he has a chance in a primary as the religious right (who vote in the primaries) doesn't like him. And he doesn't seem to like them very much. So, getting a bit ahead of ourselves, but nationally, I really don't think Gov. Ultrasound has much of a chance. Too much of a "god-botherer".
