I like smart people

Like Ed Gillespie, running for the Senate in Virginia.  He knew most guys in Virginia are Redskins fans.  And he knew these guys, black and white, are pissed off at people telling them their team’s mascot is racist.  So he runs an ad on Monday Night Football, the night before the election, in which he says all this crap about the name “Redskins” is just that — crap.  What we should be worried about is good jobs, etc.

Reports on Fox News that Gillespie was winning 18% of the black vote led Bob Beckel to claim that number could not be right.  He didn’t realize that these black guys were voting for Gillespie because he manned up for the Redskins — finally, a politician with balls.

Gillespie may lose, but I look forward to 2017 when he’ll beat the execrable VA Gov. Terry McAuliffe.  It won’t be close.

It’s a big advantage to be smart.
