McCain: Virginia is Communist Country

Another great move by the McCain campaign and their families. Joe McCain referred to Virginia as "communist country." I guess that is how McCain plans on winning in Virginia?

As I just read in the Associated Press...

Republican presidential candidate John McCain's brother made an apparent joke at a campaign rally this weekend that might not play well in parts of newly competitive Virginia.

Joe McCain, speaking at an event in support of his brother, called two Democratic-leaning areas in Northern Virginia "communist country," according to a report on The Washington Post's Web site.

"I've lived here for at least 10 years and before that about every third duty I was in either Arlington or Alexandria, up in communist country," Joe McCain said at an event in Loudon County, Va.

Why would he say such a thing? Because Barack Obama is ahead of him in the polls in Virginia.

Virginia has long been a Republican stronghold in presidential elections, but Democrat Barack Obama is running even or ahead of McCain in recent state polls. Obama is being helped by fast-growing communities in the Washington, D.C., suburbs of Northern Virginia, which tend to vote more Democratic than other parts of the state.

As of the last few days, the rhetoric from McCain's campaign has gotten nasty. Calling people communists, terrorists etc...

One of those areas is Arlington, Va., where John McCain owns a condominium.

Wait, so McCain owns a condo in Communist Country? LOL
