McCain Camp: Northern Va Not 'Real Virginia'

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.
