What do you think of VA Gov. McDonnell's Confederate History Month

VA Gov. McDonnell recent decision to make April "Confederate History Month" has caused quite a stir. The cause of the dust-up is that he did not mention slavery when calling for Virginia citizens to "understand the sacrifices of the Confederate leaders, soldiers and citizens during the period of the Civil War." Was this deliberately racist, stupid, cynical or OK?

I vote for it being a cynical attempt to rally the right wing base in the Old Dominion.
