"I have a theory that Virginia may not be a liberal state...but it's certainly not a wacko right-wing state, either, and I don't think it would ever go for a Sarah Palin over a Barack Obama, but I may be wrong.

"I bet if you go home and check with your voters, Congressman, a lot of your most trusted voters, who like you personally, are scared the bejesus [sic] of Sarah Palin. She's a theocrat. She's so far out in terms of basic American notions of pluralism that your voters would think she was frightening."
