this year’s senate race just got more interesting
A new candidate has entered the VA Senate race this year, challenging former Governors Tim Kaine (D) and George Allen (R) for the seat being vacated by the retiring Jim Webb.
Here’s his new ad:
Yes, the candidate is Hank. He’s a cat, running on a platform stressing job creation, reducing negativity in campaigning, and raising awareness for animal adoption (donations to Hank’s campaign go to the Fairfax County Humane Society).
Hank’s campaign is gaining a lot of steam, getting national attention via The Washington Post, Huffington Post, The International Business Times, and a mention on The Tonight Show.
There’s already a backlash against this insurgent campaign; superPAC “Canines for a Feline Free Tomorrow” have launched their own attack ad:
Totally unfair. There are plenty of legal Maine Coon residents in the Commonwealth of Virgina who are productive members of society, including this one.
I’m still pretty sure I’ll be voting for Kaine in November, but in my heart, I’ll be punching the card for Hank.
