A little update here for any fellow freepers in Virginia. Next year will be the govenor's race. The current govenor, Mark Warner (D), will not be able to run due to state law that prevents any govenor from serving two consecutive terms in Virginia. And I heard it on the radio that early expectations are that current Attorney General Jerry Kilgore will most likely be the Republican Candidate. And he will probably be running against the current Lt. Gov Tim Kaine. Don't know much about either of these guys.
Well, that's my impression Stormin Cormin.
And, uh , you don't have to be snippy about it.
Kilgore just put away two spammers.
Thanks for sharing that article.
Pretty glowing appraisal. Thanks.
One thing is certain: He'll be a hell of alot easier to campaign for than Mark Early.
Not all of us do ;) But please don't hold that against me, remember I seeking political asylum when we moved here last year!!!
I've not yet begun to be snippy. ;-)
But the accent is not a bad thing. And FWIW, listen to his brother Terry and find out how much Jerry's accent is has been toned down since he moved to Richmond. I'm not kidding.
But, as a native of SW Virginia (who amazingly escaped the accent) I resent the thought that it makes him sound gay. Just like a southern accent doesn't make someone stupid.
'zat make sense?
I gotta run.
Thanks for that. I had forgotten that he had pushed through the legislation about illegal aliens not being allowed to pay instate tuition rates. What an uproar that caused. But I agree with him on that.
As someone who only got a Virginia license for the first time last year.........I can attest to the rigors for getting one. It took me 3 tries to get my Delaware license transfered to VA.....
If me, a born and raised US citizen had that much trouble, I would venture to say, it's pert near impossible for an illegal.
Good grief - so you do not like the guy, that's no reason to personally attack him because of where he comes from or how he speaks.........
You message of your problem with the man got lost in the vitrol.
Hey, I can appreciate that my post may have sounded offensive. I apologize. I was simply trying to read the race like I think other voters might read it.
Having grown up with a Savannah Georgian father in New York, I can appreciate the effects the stereotypes of Southerners can have.
So again, I'm sorry.
He's not gay - he's metrosexual.
What accent? All the folks around here sound like you and me.
And I believe he'll win, handily...MUD
BTW...Kaine's a weak-spined ninny, with very little gravitas.
You picked an appropriate screen name.
Tell Governor Holton I said hello.
No problem. I responded in a hurry.
Jerry's accent is thick. But I don't think it will be a problem.
I think he will. But I also think that he and the real conservatives in the Assembly know that won't go thru the Senate and the Governor. The best they can hope for next session is to stop further increases.
And count on it. The proposals are on their way.
JK05 !! GO JERRY GO !!
