Interesting strategy. I would love to see how this plays out/backfires if it does.

Not sure than Virginia is the best state for that kind of populism.

Better a Democratic Mitt Romney than his opponent's Santorum-style tendencies.

Obama borrowed the strategy of attacking Mitt Romney's Bain connections from Newt Gingrich anyway. It's a Republican tactic.

And Newt Gingrich borrowed that strategy from Jennifer Granholm in 2006 as well.

There definitely seems to be an overabundance of rich CEOs in politics. The California Republican party in 2010 decided why nominate just one out of touch rich CEO for governor or senator when you can nominate two?

Per NYT on Twitter, McAuliffe will be releasing 3 years of "tax summaries." Cuccinelli has released 8 years of returns. This really is the anti-Romney playbook all over again...
