Ewww, Not Again

Virginia's Rethuglican candidate for Lieutenant Gov. and crackpot extremist E. W. (Ewww) Jackson has announced that he's fine with his running mate's plan to undermine public schools in Virginia by privatizing them and promoting education in private institutions, including churches, through tax-subsidized vouchers.   Eww's running mate, gubernatorial candidate Ken "Cooch" Cuccinelli has long supported the unconstitutional mix of Church and State, which would currently violate Virginia's own constitution not to mention the U.S. Constitution.  However, as the linked article notes, Cooch might want to reexamine his proposed education policy, now that Ewww has endorsed it:
"If crackpot poster child E.W. Jackson is for something, you probably want to be against it. If E.W. Jackson says your plan for changing how education works is good, you should probably assume that it is bad. If E.W. Jackson says you should jump off a particular bridge because the water is fine, you should probably assume that it is not fine. And if E.W. Jackson says all the fine young children of his state should come get in his van because he has got some free education in there, you should probably not let your child do that."
Ewww says not to laugh at him, therefore....Bwahahaha.

UPDATE: The latest polling is encouraging:
Democrat Terry McAuliffe has a 48 - 42 percent lead over Republican State Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in the race to become Virginia's next governor, according to today's Quinnipiac University poll, the first survey in this race among voters likely to vote in the November election.
