A McCain campaign aide, Nancy Pfotenhauer, told MSNBC today that northern Virginia is not part of the "Real Virginia." It was not, as you might think, an attempt to excuse McCain's failure to nominate a real VP.
This follows on the heels of John McCain's brother referring to the region as "Communist country."
The McCain spokesperson went on to discuss the rest of the state in a high-pitched, barely audible frequency: (h/t Jake Tapper)
"I did say outside of north – well, I mean real Virginia, because northern Virginia is where I've always been, but real Virginia I take to be the – this part of the state that is more southern in nature, if you will,"
This is typical of the McCain Machine, which has taken a candidate who was considered the "safest choice," and turned him into a cross between Howard Beale and the "John 3:16" guy. Now, they're setting about crapping all over the most densely populated part of a state that McCain desperately needs to win. Virginia is currently leaning heavily for Obama.

Problemo? She did a great job explaining the difference! Northern Virginia is metro DC. What's your point?

Heavens to mergatroid! John McCain redraws state line to claim Virginia. Perhaps Dick Cheney has people looking into just that right now. John, you're done, man. Go back to being yourself instead of Cindy and Sarah's mouthpiece for the wingnuts of the country.

"Go back to being yourself instead of Cindy and Sarah's mouthpiece for the wingnuts of the country." I'd thought there was hope of finding whatever became of John McCain, there were glimpses of him this past week. oh well... they stomped those down right quick, didn't they?

That's a bit of a misstep, but it wasn't a candidate that said it. Just a campaign aide. Biden himself has said much worse things on the campaign trail.

Oh! I almost forgot; the rumor has it that Colin Powell may endorse Mr. Obama tomorrow. I guess, in the eyes of the rabid FAR RIGHT, that would make Mr. Powell a terrorist, a communist, a socialist, a liberal, an Arab, a Muslim, ... (please feel free to complete the list)

That, m'dear, is a little known tactic called 'sarcasm' and mild humor. You may be interested in investigating at least the second of those, one day. Or, not.

What is Your point? Her exlanation is clear enough.why is it that every word uttered by McCain/Palin and the McCain Campaign is disected and villainized yet Obama and his Campaign can say whatever and anything negative that should also be reported is ignored.

Nancy Pfotenhauer, Tucker Bounds, Congresswoman Michele Bachman and others that think like them are right wing nuts from the lunatic fringe. They make Communist hunting Joe McCarthy look like a choir boy. They, like so many other McCainites, are brainwashed and living in a fantasy world where they think McCain and Palin have never done anything wrong and everyone is lying on them. They view Senator Obama and his supporters as demons out to destroy America. It is their right to believe this way and it is their right to seek treatment for their convoluted mentality.
The team of McCain/Palin is losing and the team of Obama/Biden is winning and that is a fact. Hopefully they will see their mental health worker and renew their medication for depression. By the way President Obama will have a good mental health plan for the McCainites.
McCain is doing and saying all the right things to make sure that Senator Obama win the election. Sarah Palin is the best thing that could have happened to the Democrats to make sure that the Democrats win the White House and both Houses of Congress. Since Palin has become a SNL living cartoon the question will be, How are you going to keep her up in Alaska now that she has got the acting bug?

Are you THAT much of a moron?? Come on already! You can't come up with anything better than "...Sen. Obama was born in Kenya" ?? He was born in Hawaii. His father's from Kenya. No matter how many times you repeat the lie, it doesn't make it the truth. So, what's your point?? Try and find a lie that isn't so easily disproved, and you won't sound like the morom you are.
