Go Home The Macker Goes On Air

The Macker Goes On Air

BY EVE FAIRBANKS

Terry McAuliffe, fundraiser and Clinton pal extraordinaire, released his first TV ad in his bid to become governor of Virginia:

 

I wrote about Terry's manic run for this week's magazine (his selling point: aptitude with chicken feces!), but one thing I didn't get into is the African-American-directed nature of his strategy. Perhaps fearful that Alexandria resident Brian Moran may siphon off support in vote-rich Northern Virginia, McAuliffe ran his kickoff radio ad for the hotly contested June Democratic primary on black stations in southern Virginia. And I notice that, in this ad, all the regular folks he's shown speaking with are African Americans.

What I find so entertaining about the McAuliffe campaign spot Eve posted is the Macker's listing

Ah, yes, Terry McAuliffe, the boil in need of lancing on the body politic.
