Nancy Pfotenhauer who is a senior aide in the McCain campaign said that in the real Virginia McCain is strong. She claims that northern VA has been invaded by Democrats from Washington DC, and that in essence northern Virginia is metro DC.
So what. Are the northern Virginia residents who pay their state taxes, contribute to the local economy, who attend religious services, donate to local charities, build communities and put down roots less citizens then say the real Virginia that she’s referring to?
She also claims the real Virginia is more southern in nature.
Is this code for the white folks who embrace the confederate flag as their heritage? The people who pass on a legacy of hate and intolerance by hiding behind a flag that represents oppression, inequality, and white supremacy.
Was it a verbal Palin wink? I will say yes. Using the term real Virginia with the reference to being more southern in nature sounds like racial profiling and positioning by the McCain campaign about the race in Virginia.
I think the same folks who claim a confederate heritage think that their Virginia is the real one, the McCain campaign knows that and has no problem pandering to it as demonstrated by their rallies, robo calls and their spokespersons.

My distain for Nancy Pfotenhauer will never subside. She is the face of the McCain base – disparaging, snobbish, haughty and absolutely without soul or compassion for anything that doesn’t run in “their crowd”.
Worse then Punaise’s disdain for Liberman?
I was going for equal status. I throw things and say bad words when she is on my tee-vee. bitch.
Remember, please remember, John McCain i from Mississippi where his family owned slaves until that pesky government set them free. I’m sure the family never really got over it.
Similar to the Bushes whose forefather Prescott had his fortune taken away in the 1940s for funding Hitler’s war machine.
As far as McCain is concerned He should be able to own O’Bama
even though he’s Irish.
Can’t seem to get the link thingy to work so maybe this will work.

HA! That youtube is really good. Thanks.
Barack Obama is IRISH!
That is funny!
The only tradition retained by the repubs from their earliest days is the carving up of Virginia. Remember West Virginia was originally intended as a buffer of loyalists against the rebellion; it was created as a state during the war by the first ever repub pres.
You gotta be kidding me. This twit wouldn’t touch “real Virginia” with an eighty foot pole.
I’d like to see her limo driver drop her off at a roadside bar somewhere near the Kentucky border and watch what happens.
