Behind the Ad: The DNC and E.W. Jackson

By Richard K. Barry

Who: The Democratic National Committee

Where: Web ad

What's going on: It has been well-reported that Republicans have picked themselves a crazy one to run as lieutenant governor in Virginia. It's E.W. Jackson and he is going to be a real problem for Ken Cuccinelli, the man at the top of the ticket. 

We all know that it is frequently the case that parties have to stretch a bit to attack their opponents. With Jackson, no stretching is required.

In Virginia, candidates for governor and lieutenant governor run separately, so Cuccinelli didn't pick Jackson. But he's going to have to wear it nonetheless.
