WASHINGTON (CNN) – Virginia Democrats are eagerly pouncing on Mike Huckabee for telling an audience in Appalachia that voters in northern Virginia "aren't necessarily thinking the same way folks like you and me think."
Huckabee made the remarks in southwest Virginia's Tazewell County on Monday while campaigning with Bob McDonnell, the Republican candidate for governor. His appearance was recorded and posted on YouTube by a state Democratic operative.
"They have never fully understood how hard it is for a lot of people to put a paycheck together, be able to feed a family," Huckabee said. "Some folks up there near the Beltway," he claimed, have "never fully understood how hard it is for a lot of people to put a paycheck together, be able to feed a family."

Huckabee is an idiot.
The Huckster pissed off some Virginians...lol. I hate that fraud so much....ok hate is a strong word so I will say dislike.
‘Loathe’ is better. Or ‘abhor.’ The word ‘revile’ works too.
why did McDonnell even invite Huckaphony?
are you part of the northern Virginia problem?
Especially when you compare it to Pres--ent Ogabe's "Bash America First" speeches in Europe.
You folks are a prime example of why a democrat may be in the white house for 20yrs. No matter what republican name pops up , the mob is ready to pounce and attack.
I for one will gladly take Huckabee over Obama any day.
That’s true. I can’t believe that Fox gave him a show...Ugh! I did watch it once and it sucked...no surprise.
Oh no, a Huckster lover...
Hey we agree on something. I am writing this date down.
Both of them are statist fools. I don't want a statist fool in The White House. I want someone who actually has not just the desire but the will power and fortitude to reduce the size of Government.
Huckabee was throwing red meat to the base in an area where there is a lot of base. He did it at the expense of the northern part of VA where it is more liberals. The goal is to drive up the numbers in a republican area to compete with
the big numbers that will come in from the north for the democrat.
I for one will gladly take Huckabee over Obama any day.
Why settle for either...they both are the same.
I don’t see anything wrong with his comments. Liberal, elitist Democrats ruined their communites with their stupid tax and spend policies. Now they are moving into areas such as northern Virginia and bringing their liberal politics with them. Aren’t they the reason VA went Obama?
No , you don’t. You want somthing that does not exists so you chose to live with the worst of what does exist.
