We didn't see any Kilgore ads and the local talk radio couldn't get anyone from his campaign to return their calls. The most I saw from Kilgore came from the local Repub party - nothing from the actual campaign. Kaine on the other hand sent mailers, e-mail updates (I never signed up for), radio, TV, and print ads.
I know a few people who didn't vote for Kilgore because he very obviously had conceded N. VA.
I saw plenty of Kilgore TV ads here in McLean. The problem was that Kilgore was a poor candidate. He lacked a consistent message and was a poor debator. Kaine ate him up. VA is a strong Rep state, but the Northern Virginia demographics are changing. With two of the top three richest counties in the nation, Loudon and Fairfax, the Dem lawyers and lobbyists are moving in and changing the political landscape.
