He's all over the country but he's not campaigning for Allen in Virginia.

4. Perhaps the election in VA has already been 'secured', and Shrubber's
ahem...talents, could be used in areas where theft is not 'do-able'.
Shrub spent most of 2004 'campaigning' to friendly, pre-screened audiences, and it didn't occur to me until after the election was stolen that he KNEW he didn't need to win any new votes.:tinfoilhat:

6. Tweety called Virginia "the macaca state" yesterday
No offense to Virginians, but for a few seconds I had a vision of a license tag with that on it...

Of course, this was typical Tweety inaccuracy--he's always so busy blathering on at warp speed, interviewing himself, that (as we know) often sheer nonsense just spews from his rapidly-moving lips. We all know that Virginia is NOT "the macaca state"; rather, George Felix Allen is The Macaca Candidate.

8. Same with Steele in Md who is his "home boy" but never mentions he's a re-puke in campaign ads
From July WP article, but I am not aware of the idiot making the short trip to help his "home boy" in neighboring Maryland yet even though "he is more than welcome"

Steele Addresses Negative Comments on Bush

By John Wagner
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, July 27, 2006; Page B01

On Monday, he didn't want President Bush campaigning for him. Yesterday, he called the president "my homeboy" and more than welcomed Bush to Maryland.

Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele's awkward dance with the media and the White House continued after the publication of quotes in which the U.S. Senate hopeful, speaking anonymously, had distanced himself from the president and his party.
(snip)

"Why did you say being a Republican is like wearing a scarlet letter, sir?" a television reporter shouted as Steele disappeared. "Why did you say being a Republican is like wearing a scarlet letter?"

Just a few hours later, in the confines of conservative talk radio, Steele said he welcomed the chance to clarify his comments, which were critical of the Iraq war and Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina. But he backed away from his suggestion at the luncheon Monday that he would "probably not" want Bush to come to Maryland to campaign for him.

"I've been quoted before as calling the president my homeboy, you know, and that's how I feel," Steele said on WBAL (1090 AM) radio in Baltimore. "I'm not afraid of George Bush. If the president wants to come and help me in Maryland, he is more than welcome. I'm not going to turn my back on a friend. I'm not going to do that. I want to make that very clear."
