Kaine's the One

Only two states' governorships are up for grabs this fall. Only one, Virginia’s, is a contest. And it shouldn’t be. There’s only one party achieving a best managed state in the nation designation:The Democrats. Contrast that to the fiscal irresponsibility, ideological obsession with dangerous tax cuts, and slick-speak chicanery of Jerry Kilgore. The difference is so stark that earlier this week, the Chamber of Commerce laughed at, not with, Jerry Kilgore. Earlier this summer I wrote two articles about Tim Kaine for Democracy for Virginia (www.democracyforvirginia.org).  These articles (“Raising Kaine in Blacksburg: Part 1” and “Raising Kaine in Blacksburg: Part 2” tell the story.  Refer also to my article “The World is Upside Down" at the bottom (first entry) to this blog.
