Gonzaga, the Jesuit high school in a scruffy part of Washington’s inner city, is where Ken Cuccinelli II says he became the man he is. The Republican candidate for governor of Virginia emerged in part in John Hoffman’s social justice class in 1986, when the teacher pressed the boys to look beyond the facts of poverty and inequality and examine the structures that shape people’s lives.
....

A quarter-century after those formative chapters in Cuccinelli’s life, those who watched him closely find him a more complex and thoughtful figure than the caricature of a hard-line social conservative might allow. But of those interviewed for this article, none said they would vote for him.

Hoffman looks at the man his student has become and sees someone who questions the order of things. In that sense, “I’d chalk Kenny up as a success,” the teacher says. “But I disagree with him mightily. I find most of Kenny’s political positions outrageous and obnoxious.”
....

Democrats saw him as a true believer, driven more by religion than by a desire to get things done. “He didn’t drink the Kool-Aid; he made it,” says Dick Saslaw (D-Fairfax), the Senate minority leader. “You name the antiabortion tactic and he was for it. Believe me, we had some very conservative people in the Senate and they winced at his bills, they were so extreme. Whether it was bashing gays or immigrants, nobody wanted to be associated with him.”
