RICHMOND -- Former GOP presidential contender Mike Huckabee exhorted Virginia Republicans to rally votes for their governor's race this fall. And if that doesn't work, well, flatten the Democrats' tires and keep 'em home, he joked.
The former Arkansas governor made the remark Monday at an event for presumptive GOP nominee Bob McDonnell in Tazewell County. The audience chuckled.
But former Democratic National Chairman Terry McAuliffe isn't laughing. In a media conference call yesterday, McAuliffe said denying people the right to vote is "not a laughing matter."
Huckabee, through a spokesman yesterday, ridiculed McAuliffe for criticizing his remarks.
