Governor, VA 8/10/2005

Kilgore (R) - 48% Kaine (D) - 43% Potts (I) - 3% Other/Undecided - 7%

Data Collected 8/6/05 - 8/8/05 State of Virginia 568 Likely Voters Margin of Error - 4.2%

This sample had 52% women and 48% men. I don't know if that sounds about right or now. Kilgore leads by 14 among men and loses women by 3. His lead may actually be a little larger. Nonetheless, two polls (Rasmussen and SUSA) now show Kilgore with a 5 to 6 point lead wiping out the outlier Mason-Dixon. This poll includes Pottsie also.

Is that the same Pottsie from the show, "happy Days"?

Is Richie Cunningham his Lt. Gov.?

[stuckinNY-NJ]

52% women is only off by 1%. With Rasmussen saying something similar makes me believe these numbers are real

[Bones and Bones]

Why would it be larger? (14 + (-3)) / 2 = 5.5

I don't know who this Pottsie is, but it is surely not the popular Anson Williams.

Anson Williams was born Anson William Heimlick on September 24, 1949, in Los Angeles. His father was an art director at an aviation company until layoffs forced him to open a concession booth. Throughout high school, Williams worked nights at his dad's struggling Orange Julius stand on Van Nuys Boulevard.

In his freshman year at Pierce Junior College, Willliams took a drama course and discovered he had knack for performing. He then dropped his plans to become a gym teacher, dropped his last name, and dropped out of college to try his luck as an actor. His first professional jobs were in Kansas where he performed in "The Music Man" and "The Sound of Music."

Besides a string of TV commercials, including several for McDonald's, Williams' first role on television was on an episode of "Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law." Appearances on "The Paul Lynde Show," "Marcus Welby, M.D.," and three variety specials with Tony Randall soon followed.

The role of Potsie on "Happy Days" was the perfect opportunity for Williams to showcase his acting and vocal talents. After hearing him sing backstage, the writers incorporated his singing ability into the show. Williams soon began to perform across the country and released several records.

In 1977, he starred in his own syndicated television special, "Anson Williams at Sea World." In 1981, he and his wife, Lorri Mahaffey, who played his girlfriend on "Happy Days," starred in a television special called "Anson and Lorri." The show was conceived as a pilot for a spin-off, but it failed to sell.

Over the last several years, Williams has compiled an extensive list of credits as a television director.

He's referring to "Republican" State Sen. Russell Potts, who is running as an independent.

Too bad, Pottsie and Richie would make a good team for Va.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy!"

[Theodore R.]

I remember an episode when Richie and Mrs. Cunningham were for Adlai Stevenson for President in 1956, whereas Mr. Cunningham and Fonzie were for Eisenhower.

[Theodore R.]

Is Potts part of the John Warner organization? Maybe he can get Liz Taylor to cut some ads for him and draw from the Kaine supporters.

Response to post #5


Obsess much?

[TheBigB]

Mrs. C. wasn't for Stevenson, but she told Mr. C. that Richie could make up his own mind. Richie only wanted to neck with Stevenson volunteer Debbie Howser.

TheBigB watches waaaay too much TV. :o)

[TheBigB]

Not sure, really.

[atomicpossum]

Yeah, but Richie was only doing it for the chicks (typical).

[Theodore R.]

You've got a better memory for the details of old TV than I do, but I bet I watched more of it than you did!

[TheBigB]

And someone stuck STEVENSON bumper stickers all over the back of Mr.C's Desoto.

"It's those Democrats! They make people crazy!" :o)

[TheBigB]

Betcha dint. ;o)
