Palin Campaigns For McDonnell In Secret Roguish Manner, McDonnell Terrified
See what's going on above? That would be Bob McDonnell crushing the dickens out of Creigh Deeds, in Virginia. Fine, go ahead, win tomorrow, anything to get these dreadful four-per-commercial-break ads ("I will fix the roads" "No I will fix the roads" "You hate women" "I will fix the women and roads," etc. ) off the air. And how has McDonnell built up such a lead? By not accepting any of Sarah Palin's offers to campaign with him, for one! This will not stop egomaniacal Sarah Palin from secretly campaigning for McDonnell through a third party, however. Just Sarah bein' Sarah!
PALIN: McDonnell says what? WHAT? In that case, you, Ralph Reed, put me on the robot telephone to Virginia, post-haste!
Republican Bob McDonnell kept his distance from Sarah Palin on Monday even as the former Alaska governor had begun making automated phone calls to more than 300,000 Virginia households on behalf of a conservative group, urging them to vote their values in Tuesday's election.
"I don't know anything about them," McDonnell told ABC News on Monday when asked about the Palin robocalls which are paid for by the Virginia chapter of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, a socially conservative group headed at the national level by Ralph Reed, the former head of the Christian Coalition.
Then again, it's not clear that Palin's robocall supportsanyone, what with the lack of naming any names in her endorsement of, uhh... the Sarah Palin for Virginia campaign?
Virginia, hello, this is Sarah Palin calling to urge you to go to the polls Tuesday and vote to share our principles. The eyes of America will be on Virginia and make no mistake about it, every vote counts. So don’t take anything for granted, vote your values on Tuesday, and urge your friends and family to vote, too.
The audio is super awesomer -- just a cacophony of fuzz and hiss and screeching and terror:
And don't forget to buy my book!
