(NOT The Onion) Kilgore Wins Final Gubernatorial Debate
OMG this is too funny.

Kilgore Wins Final Gubernatorial Debate
http://www.jerrykilgore.com/cgi-data/press/files/164.shtml

--Tim Kaine Exposed as Most Liberal Candidate for Governor in Modern Times--

RICHMOND - Former Attorney General and Republican nominee for Governor Jerry Kilgore succeeded in drawing contrasts between himself and liberal Democrat candidate Tim Kaine in the final debate of the 2005 campaign at the studios of WWBT-TV. Kilgore repeatedly highlighted his own achievements and proposals and drew sharp distinctions between his own public service and that of Kaine's as Mayor of Richmond and Lieutenant Governor.

"After tonight's debate, it is more certain than ever that voters have a clear choice this year for Governor," Kilgore said. "Never before have the two major parties nominated two more different candidates. As one newspaper put it earlier this year, voters will have a choice between a classic conservative and a classic liberal."


Kilgore persistently made references to Kaine's failure of leadership as the Mayor of Richmond, a city that was mired in mediocrity, scandals, crime and substandard public schools. In addition, Kilgore highlighted Kaine's consistent support for higher taxes and a member of City Council, as Mayor and as Lieutenant Governor.

Tim Kaine appeared rattled and shaken as his liberal record was brought to the forefront throughout the debate. He made it clear he opposes the death penalty. He supports higher taxes. And he stands firm in support of taxpayer benefits for illegal aliens.

2. Rattled and Shaken???
Guess I need to get my TV fixed. I didn't see a bit of "rattle and shaken" going on by Tim Kaine. I saw an articulate, understanding, intelligent man making mincemeat out of a prissy-ass namby-pamby. That's what I saw. Maybe I was looking at the wrong channel??

3. I ran across some blog yesterday
don't ask me how I got there it was one in a million link to link to link anyway it was from someone here in Richmond. They must be fairly well connected because they had a "from inside the debate" report.

They posted that it was nice to see Kaine having to answer questions and sweat it out.

You can only guess which way that that blogster leans.

I didn't see it either. Kaine impressed me I mean really impressed me.
