McAuliffe's #vagovdebate strategy: Squawk about GOP war on women, repeat.

Beyond parody.

Despite increasing evidence that playing the well-worn GOP War on Women card is backfiring (see Colorado recall), the Dems are clinging bitterly to the strategy. While marching contraceptive girls protested outside the Virginia gubernatorial debate, Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe donned his Lady Parts Savior costume inside the venue.

Savvy men and women used their smarts and called out his Tourette’s-like attacks.

@TerryMcAuliffe can only attack and uses women. As a woman I am insulted that he thinks I am stupid. Say No to McAuliffe

Bottom line, Virginians:

McAuliffe's closing message: Cuccinelli = bad for women. Cuccinelli's closing message: McAuliffe = bad for business
