In an interview with MSNBC today, Sen. John McCain's advisor Nancy Pfotenhauer says Northern Virginia isn't "real Virginia" and that the Republican presidential nominee still has a chance of winning the battleground state because of support in southern regions of the state, which she calls "real Virginia."

Northern Virginia, home to McCain's campaign headquarters and McCain's condo, has trended Democratic in recent years and voters there are expected to turn out heavily for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Gee, I guess those of us who reside in Northern Virginia are also not REAL AMERICANS according to the McCain/Palin "patriots? :grr: :thumbsdown:

2. Where in NOVA are you?

PM me if you want. I live in NOVA and I have to confess that I'm not that offended...I have lived here for a year and a half and yet I have trouble calling myself a Virginian because that just sounds so...Southern. I do feel more that I live in metro DC than in Virginia...her wording was tacky, but I get what she was saying.

10. Of Course

MSNBC First read totally excuses her "Oh, we all know what she meant...North Virginia IS different!" Uh, is it not real? That was the damning part...she didn't even care enough to clarify her bonehead wording. It was dismissive. MSNBC's own Kevin got it and knew that she goofed, but of course, First read "knows what she really meant"....
