Before you take a long, leisurely read of a New York Times Magazine story in today's issue by Matt Bai (left), about Barack Obama stumping in rural Virginia, here's an excerpt of an on-air exchange yesterday about Virginia between John McCain adviser, Nancy Pfotenauer and MSNBC anchor Kevin Corke, according to politico.com.
"On the same day that John McCain appeared in Woodbridge, Va. -- in the heart of of the state's fast-growing Washington exurbs -- one of his advisers appeared on TV to say that the region was not 'real Virginia.'"
Corke gave her a chance to immediately walk back her statement, but Pfotenauer declined. Corke replied: "All right. I’m just going to let you -- you’re aware of that one. I’m just saying." Northern VIrginia is home to a third of the state's voters.
Now, the fascinating Times piece.
