[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, is the hypocrisy that they didn’t outright reject campaign PAC money associated with him?  I mean, they COULD, but cold hard cash in election session is not easy to turn away.  Make a stink if you really want?  But I think most people are just going to shrug at this point.  He is still the Governor, he does still have campaign money in his pac fund.  I think the entire caucus called for his resignation.  He didn’t do so.  They can’t just pretend he doesn’t exist for the next several years.  [/quote]

Heh.

“But with campaign season in full swing during a crucial election year, he is far from the pariah that most people expected. Instead, Northam is making big donations to a few campaigns, attending fundraisers throughout the state and rallying fellow Democrats on issues such as health care and gun control.

Republicans have even eased up on the “Gov. Blackface” attacks that were common earlier in the spring and summer. GOP campaigns are now more likely to warn about Democrats pushing socialism than to call Northam a racist. Two Republicans involved with campaigns said internal polling has shown the Northam attacks were not helping them woo voters.”
