McAuliffe Makes a Fan Faux Pas
Bob Gibson at the Daily Progress reports an amusing faux pas by Terry McAuliffe at a recent UVA-UNC basketball game:
As McAuliffe took his front-row seat courtside next to John and Renee Grisham, more than a few Wahoo fans noticed that McAuliffe’s sweater was a significantly lighter blue than Virginia’s dark blue hue.
The front-running candidate of three Democrats in the money race approaching the June 9 Democratic Party primary for governor, McAuliffe had not committed the cardinal mistake of wearing a baby blue sweater to the basketball game dominated by the Tar Heels, but his sweater was a noticeably moderate blue.
Not to worry about such things, McAuliffe kept up a lively conversation with John and Renee while the man who had been sitting next to him disappeared and reappeared a few minutes later with a Virginia hat.
….
At halftime, McAuliffe doffed a dark blue Virginia jacket with orange lettering, completing his transition from a moderate blue fan to one wearing Virginia colors.
Apparently, McAuliffe didn’t quite finish his research on the state’s colleges before he decided on Virginia as the best place for him to buy the Governorship. Of course, Terry has the money to fix any mistake on the campaign trail, as well as to be, well, just about everywhere.
