CONNAUGHTON LEADS ALL CANDIDATES IN LATEST FUNDRAISING REPORT. Connaughton began his efforts last March. He has raised more than $1,000,000 in the ensuing ten months. For the most recent six-month period, Connaughton reported contributions of $503,000. His nearest rival, State Senator Bill Bolling is reported in today’s press as having raised $411,000 in the same period. Connaughton thus continued his fund-raising dominance of Bolling, having out raised the candidate from Mechanicsville by almost a 2-to-1 ratio in the period that closed June 30, 2004. http://Connaughton4ltgov.com

Kilgore and Kaine say they are so different that negativity results
It's only January, and already the gubernatorial campaign between Democrat Timothy M. Kaine and Republican Jerry W. Kilgore has reached such a level of rancor that the candidates are being urged to cool it.

About political winners and breadwinners
Lt. Gov. Timothy M. Kaine is trying to do to Attorney General Jerry W. Kilgore what the Swift Boaters did to U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry in the 2004 presidential campaign: hit him below the water line.

[The Mayor]

I still get State Sen. Bill Bolling email report and Jerry Kilgores email.

I moved back to Buffalo 2 years ago.
I was involved with a few campaigns while I was there.
I lived in Fluvanna County and still get their communications from Feda Kidd the Chair.

I wish them the best of luck, Jerry Kilgore is a good man.
