‘Okay, I’ll Take the Donations, but Only In Small Denominations’

In other Virginia gubernatorial news, Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe “has said he will not accept contributions from Dominion [power company]’s political-action committee, in part because of the company’s resistance to government-mandated use of renewable fuels.”

A politician turning down donations! What a principled stand! Oh, wait. He’s accepting donations from Dominion employees, and has taken quite a bit from former top executives. And he held a fundraiser, with lobbyists in attendance, at the home of the company’s former CEO.

Oh, just take the PAC money already.

Also, the Rasmussen poll has Republican Bob McDonnell way ahead (10 to 15 percentage points), but I’d like to see those numbers echoed by other pollsters.
