Back to carnival barking for McAuliffe

DateTuesday, June 9, 2009 at 09:55PM

I must confess that I'm both surprised and delighted that Virginia voters had the sense to reject the human spin machine Terry McAuliffe in his effort to buy the Democratic nomination for Governor of that state.

As any reader of this blog well knows, I'm not a big fan of Spinzilla.  The guy is a soulless carnival barker more suited for a career of selling used cars.  Even as late as just a few weeks ago, McAuliffe had looked like a shoe-in for the nomination, but the other guy -- the winner guy, I forget his name -- kept plugging away and somehow managed to pull a massive upset.

Democratic insiders and other Virginia politicos will be studying this one for weeks and months to uncover the secret of the other guy's victory.  Congrats, other guy!
