Democratic heavyweights in Virginia send their regrets

Seems like they’re trying desperately to avoid catching the presidential cooties.
President Obama arrives in the state Tuesday as part of three-day North Carolina and Virginia bus tour to talk about the economy, but it’s not clear how many Virginia Democrats will be with him.

As we reported today, Democratic state legislators are none too eager to support Obama, let alone be seen with him.

The state’s top Democrats will be not be around, either.
He’ll probably have trouble drawing crowds of regular folks, too – unless he decides to ride through Chesterfield in an open car, distributing sawbucks from a big canvas sack [Likely response from typical Chesterfield resident: “Meh. Mail me a check.”]

You want me to bend down to pick up that twenty? That's oppression!

And yeah, I know a sawbuck ain't a twenty, but I'm adjusting for inflation...

See? Even carpetbaggers have their standards.
