Damnit, I was born in this state!
I graduated from Virginia elementary, middle, and high schools. I'm 54 years old, and almost all of those years have been lived in the Old Dominion. After the Army and college, I returned to Virginia, have taught in Virginia public schools for the past 32 years, and my wife and I make our home and are raising our children here. I know something about Virginia values, and Jerry Fucking Kilgore does NOT represent them!

1. Let's hope you're right.
We need massive turnout today to overcome the fraud. I'll vote this evening.

2. Goodonya!
The polls are promising, but so were the exit polls this time last year. Every vote counts.

3. Amen, neighbor
I've lived more than half my long life here in the Old Dominion, proud to be a member of the Bar in Mr. Jefferson's Commonwealth. We have a gorgeous and glorious history, and we also have Loving v. Virginia.

But, this fucking Kilgore is one scary snake. He's so far right, he's kissing his own butt from the left.

Guess where his Attorney General candidate went to law school?

That's right - Pat Robertson's baby...............

5. Funny after all this time I didn't know that about McDonell
until this weekend. In Hampton Roads his ads say "One of Hampton Roads own" this was new to me so I asked "Oh yeah he is Robertson's guy" I sat back and laughed-they have kept that quite secret.

4. There must be some really strong Kool Aid out there
Kilgore is nothing. A cardboard cutout. A suit and a haircut. I can sort of kinda see something that people latch onto with any candidate (if I really try) but there is nothing there with Kilgore, nothing. As my down the middle regular Joe friends were saying this weekend the only thing that they have learned about Kilgore are:

-he doesn't want you to vote for Kaine
and
-he is going to seal up the Va./Mexican border

That's it. "What are you going to DO???" said one of them talking back to yet another TV ad.

Nothing there. They must be really disciplined and really want to win to even get close. Mind you I'm not counting chickens here I just can't imagine that anyone within 20 degrees of the middle even considering Kilgore.

6. Has this country been sleeping?
For godsakes...if we knew the wingnut attorney general candidate was a graduate of televangelista Law School, that should have been on EVERY television commercial and print ad!!!

7. Hope you're right
I share your long time residence in this state. I've been here all my 48 years but I know that there are many who disagree with me as I live in the northern part of the state.
