This election is driving me nuts, especially working at a TV station (a conservative station, no less). It seems like this entire campaign has been Kilgore throwing mud, Kaine defending it, then Kilgore twisting around Kaine's words. They've both done a lot of negative campaigning (as have the candidates for Lt. Gov and Atty. Gen) but I'm just sick of the baseless attacks. Governor Warner has been amazing.... high approval rating, amazing budget, etc. Virginia has been thriving for the past few years while Kilgore fought them every step of the way. My extremely conservative co-workers try to find negative things to say about Warner but they can't. I know Kaine isn't the same person as Warner, but at least he gives sources when he says things about Kilgore.

The debate between the two of them was ridiculous, too. They wouldn't allow Russ Potts (a Rep. running as an Independent) join in, and Kilgore didn't answer any questions. When they asked him about highway repair, he said that Kaine and Kilgore didn't fully eliminate the car tax. Of course they didn't. They've spent the past 4 years cleaning up the mess made by George Allen and his cronies. People don't seem to realize that if you cut one tax completely, then you will be taxed somewhere else, or else funding will stop for some things that we enjoy.

I can't wait for tomorrow night to get here. I'm hoping and praying for a Kaine victory like you wouldn't believe. If Kilgore wins, then God save the Commonwealth, because we'll need all the help we can get. Plus, who wants to listen to that nasaly, whiny, redneck voice talking all the time?
