H/T to DCist

Keeping with the theme of BATTLEGROUND VIRGINIA, DCist does a nice round-up of VA GOP fuck-ups. Ohhhh, macaca. Click here to see the mailer that's going around.

Earlier this week we debated why Virginia seems to provoke politicians and campaign officials to say forehead-slappingly foolish things. After all, you'd think the infamous George Allen "macaca" incident would have served as something of an example for Virginia GOP Chair Jeff Frederick when he recently compared Sen. Barack Obama to Osama bin Laden.

You'd also think that Sen. John McCain, already fighting to save his campaign, might not want to stand alongside a man like Frederick in public. Well, you'd be wrong. According to ThinkProgress, McCain will headline a campaign event tomorrow at the Prince William County Complex in Woodbridge where Frederick -- who remains the GOP head in the state and represents Woodbridge in the Virginia General Assembly -- is set to appear. The McCain campaign did say that Frederick's comments were "not appropriate."
