Miss Virginia Offended By McCain Campaign Comments

FiveThirtyEight:

They've done it. The McCain campaign has gone and pissed off Miss Virginia.

When McCain senior adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer divided Virginia into the DC suburbs and "real Virginia," Kristi Lauren Glakas felt extremely disappointed. Glakas, a recent three-time Miss Virginia title holder and whip-smart University of Virginia scholarship honor student, said the comments were divisive.

"What offended me and made me sad about those comments," said Glakas, a resident for many years in northern Virginia, "is that I've been to every county, every part of this state. What's best about Virginia is its diversity. The people, the geography. We have every class, every race, an amazing immigrant population... Virginia is the birthplace of America. To say that part of Virginia is not part of the real America is just offensive."

Gov. Tim Kaine (Va) will be on Countdown w/Keith tonight - I hope somebody mentions this ...

I do feel sorry for her. I think she was nervous as heck and it was cruel to ridicule her the way bloggers did.

Palin has earned our ridicule - with her mockery of O before she had earned the right, with her pretending to be something she is not, and with her intent to force herself into a job she unqualified for at America's expense. And because she is not the least bit remorseful or apologetic over any of it.

Kudos to Miss VA for recognizing the divisive tactics being used by the rethugs.
Let them keep digging themselves in deeper and deeper.
