McAuliffe running to be McDonnell’s parrot

During Bob McDonnell’s kickoff rallies throughout Virginia Saturday (without any stories written by our local newspapers, mind you), McDonnell launched an economic message for job creation and included this:

“Virginia should be the top state in America for tourism and film production” (Faithfully reported by Bearing Drift)

It took half a week, but Terry McAiliffe thought McDonnell had such a neat idea that he made it into a press release, and had the same thought.

“McAuliffe pledged to make Virginia a top destination for the film industry by increasing tax incentives for film production, creating a highly-trained film industry workforce, and ensuring that all state agencies do their part to support the film industry in the Commonwealth”

Amazing! I didn’t even see McDonnell’s lips moving.

If Terry McAuliffe is going to have a real campaign, and since the latest polls show Brian Moran kicking his butt he may not, T-Mac is going to have to eventually think of some ideas on his own.

Listening for McDonnell’s ideas may make him correct more often, but I’m not sure it will thrill Democrat primary voters, or anyone who is hoping for a Democrat nominee with any ideas of his own for that matter.
