The Daily Press endorses Tim Kaine for governor of Virginia. There are three men in the race. One will not win. One does not deserve to win. One has pledged to carry forward the balanced social and economic policies of Gov. Mark Warner. It's an easy choice.

It would be an even easier choice if Warner himself were on the ballot, but Virginia bars the electorate from choosing continuity. Warner, the best man for the job, is the only one who can't have it.

The candidate who does not deserve to win is former Attorney General Jerry Kilgore. Two-time presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson once said that it is difficult to campaign for office without proving that you are unworthy of winning. That is Kilgore's singular achievement of this election.

It's a harsh verdict, but justified by the incoherence of his campaign and the logical contradictions between what Kilgore says he is and what he proposes to do.
