Will Democrats hold the Virginia Governorship in 2005?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

I am hearing that Tim Kaine (Lt. Governor) is the candidate of choice.

What are you hearing, your thoughts?

1. Tim Kaine Will be the nominee

I'm pretty sure he is running unoppose in the primary. I guess someone could get into the race but I don't think it will happen simply because Tim Kaine is very well known if a state senator or delegate were to challenge him they wouldn't have the same popularity as Tim.

2. What are his chances of winning the Governorship?

5. I think Kaine has a real good chance against

Kilgore. Warner, though less liberal than I would like has done a good job with the mess that he was left by Gilmore. I think we could hold the capitol for another four years.

6. Govenorship in 2005

I think that is a tought question at this time. At least here is the Tidewater area, Kaine is basically an unknow quantitiy. As Lt Gov
he has been pretty invisible as far as I can see. Kilgore has a much wider name recognition factor at this point.
