Ben Smith, Politico...Fake Virginia

"Nancy Pfotenhauer picks a fight with Rep. Tom Davis and Jonathan Martin by saying that Northern Virginia -- which leans Democratic and home of McCain campaign HQ -- isn't "real Virginia" because it's just a suburb of DC.

At least it's better than "communist country."

1. Saying that N. isn't "real Virginia" is a compliment.

2. So, then, according to Ms. Nancy, there are several other "fake states." Shall we name them?

California
Nevada
Washington
Oregon
Colorado
New Mexico
Hawaii
Minnesota
Iowa
Michigan
Missouri
Illinois
Wisconsin
Ohio
Pennsylvania
North Carolina
Florida
New Hampshire
Vermont
New York
Massachusetts
Maine
Rhode Island
Connecticut
New Jersey
Delaware
Maryland
D.C.

And, perhaps West Virginia, Indiana and Georgia may be "fake states," as well, once everyone is all said and done.

6. I wanted the Obama campaign to see this

So I emailed Ben Smith and Jonathan Martin, and Martin emailed me back "Oh, I know.." Is he from Virginia? I know that he has an accent...and that he does the ribs with McCain at his BBQs, so I wasn't sure if he would post it, but he just did an entry. Hehe.

"On the same day that John McCain appeared in Woodbridge, Va. - in the heart of of the state's fast-growing Washington exurbs -- one of his advisers appeared on TV to say that the region was not "real Virginia."

Given a chance to immediately walk back her statement, Nancy Pfotenauer declined.

Responded MSNBC's Kevin Corke: "All right. I’m just going to let you -- you’re aware of that one. I’m just saying."

Northern VIrginia is home to a third of the state's voters."

same thing. Smooth move there indistinguishable blond women from McCain campaign.
