Today in E.W. Jackson news, E.W. Jackson is denied a few more times by fellow far-right Republican candidate Ken Cuccinelli, who wants you to
please, please not think of him and Jackson as part of the same ticket:
Asked in an interview with the radio station WMAL if he embraces Jackson’s candidacy or wants to be judged independently, Cuccinelli said he “absolutely” wants to be judged independently.
“That’s the way Virginia voters operate,” he said. “They have a history of making decisions one office at a time and E.W.’s going to have to introduce himself individually to the rest of Virginia, something that I did in 2009 as attorney general and frankly that I’m doing again for governor. It is different for different offices, but there’s no question that we’ve got to get over the line each of us one at a time.”
Well that's just mean. Whatever happened to party unity? All for one and one for a tax break, or however the saying goes?
Cuccinelli also wants to make clear that he may or may not have different positions from the crazy crackpot who he himself apparently encouraged to enter the race, he just doesn't know for sure because hey, he barely knows the guy:
Interviewer: But he says there's no daylight between your positions and his. Do you agree?
Cuccinelli: Well, frankly I don't know whether that's true or not. […] I really just have never had that kind of experience with E.W., so I just don't know the answer to that.
For the record, other people have looked into it. If there's daylight there,
'tis a narrow beam indeed.
And then the cock crowed, and E.W. Jackson looked at fellow conservative crackpot Ken Cuccinelli and said "Dude, what the hell?"
