The criticism still stings. "My gosh, I thought I was the leader of the anti-tax movement," Kilgore said. "It's exactly how I would have governed. The referendums came from the populist in me. I think people ought to be involved in the process."

Maybe we didn't get the memo.

I fought long and hard for Jerry Kilgore, because I believed in him. But he did NOT campaign and an anti-tax guy. He campaigned as an anti-Kaine guy.

If he had come out of the gate saying we need to return the surplus to the people, and STAYED ON MESSAGE, he would have won in a landslide.

A party insider told me the campaign blamed the "phone banks."

They learned nothing.

Ping to the Allen ping list 'cause most of y'all were on the Kilgore list.

I completely agree.
I think Kaine even said that when they started down the anti-tax road, it threw Kaine off-stride.

The stupid party strikes again.

Kilgore ran a stupid campaign. Those Hilter death penalty ads made Kilgore look immature.

I have a personalized license plate (can you guess what it is?) yet the other night when I told someone that I had something for him and it was on the front seat of my car and to just get it as he was leaving, the plate wasn't how he described my car - he commented on the Kilgore bumper sticker. go figger.

Did he say why?

Gee, thanks, Jerry.

Sincerely,

a member of your "phone bank"
