In short order, Mr McDonnell set his sights on another job: vice-president. His ambitions may now be threatened by a seeming inability to control the excesses of his party: in particular, a requirement pushed through the legislature that women seeking abortions must undergo a vaginal ultrasound test. Making this invasive procedure, involving the insertion of a wand, compulsory is akin, say Democrats and women's rights advocates, to a sexual assault. The aim, supposedly, is to confront women with the reality of their fetus. The fact that Mr McDonnell had not foreseen a public backlash to the vaginal-ultrasound requirement seems, to some, to illustrate his tone-deafness and inattention to detail.
