Kilgore looks like an evil cross between Don Knotts and Mr. Rogers. It was bizarre.

They really attacked Kaine with some of the questions...one was about a Doug Wilder quote casting Richmond as totally corrupt (Kaine was Mayor there).

Kaine did very well, and seemed mostly like a normal guy. Kilgore seemed shifty and possible malevolent.

Kilgore threw around the L-word, saying that Kaine is no Mark Warner, and tried to say that Kaine's support for a moratorium on the death penalty blames law enforcement instead of criminals.

All that aside, I don't think Virginia wants another Republican governor...they've had a taste of good governance, and I doubt they will go back this time around.
