Dems continue to think evoking memories of last year’s McCain- Palin campaign remains a useful tactic for tarring the GOP among swing voters as harsh and divisive.
The latest: Virginia Democrats are planning to go on the offensive today against GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell by using comments by Mike Huckabee, in which he seemed to disparage North Virginians, to remind voters of similarly controversial comments about Virginia by Palin and the McCain campaign last year.
Huckabee was recently
caught on video
by the Virginia Dem tracker at a rally for McDonnell, where he said that “some folks up there near the Beltway” don’t think the “same way folks like you and me think.”
The Virginia Dems are set to unleash a Web vid hammering McDonnell, a self-styled centrist candidate who Dems regard as far right, by airing the footage of Huckabee and similar McCain-Palin campaign comments.
Darning them with their own words, priceless. It forces them from saying, "I never said that", to saying "I was taken out of context" and finally down to "I was only joking".
