Our Surrogates Are Better Than Their Surrogates

By Sniffles

First Hillary, and now Bill: The 42nd President is coming to Virginia for a three-day campaign blitz for Terry McAuliffe.

So who does Ken Cuccinelli bring in? Mr. Yesterday's News in Republican politics, Fat Mike Huckabee. And Fat Mike was only able to draw "a couple hundred people" to Liberty "University" for the big Cootchy confab. Hm.

Which makes us wonder: Where, oh, where is the famous quitter from Alaska? Why isn't she winging her way to Richmond to tout her fellow teabagger for Governor? After all, she campaigned for that loser named Lonegan in New Jersey — and now Senator-elect Cory Booker is officiating same-sex marriages, God love him. What gives?

We think we know the answer. Sarah Palin could safely stump for Steve Lonegan because he was never supposed to win that Senate seat, and she could never be blamed for his loss. But campaigning for Cootchy is more politically dicey. This was a race that the GOP was once confident of winning, because it's an off-year and a Democrat is in the White House. But now — well, not so much.

We cats predict that Virginia won't see the likes of the famous quitter before November 5. But she'll do something less risky — like tweet her support for the Cootch a few days out, when it won't make any difference. After all, that's what unprincipled narcissists do.

P.S. Maybe Cootchy should bring back Ted Cruz? Well — maybe not.
