VA is a mix. Red for Bush, Democrat governor, state house republicans betrayed us and raised taxes in 2004, the only repubs who didn't vote for higher taxes are the ones in the race now...
Even my Sheriff candidate lost tonight...ugh...
Another dumb white house move by giving this race extra weight by having bush campaign in it.
Roanoke poll had Kaine up by 8 points last week, the race was over then. Reminded me of the polls having Bush up by 8 points late in Florida last year.
If Bush didn't show up they could have written it off as Virginia always goes opposite on the governor's party than the white house, warner's popularity, warner having won in 01 when bush was popular, and kilgore's hitler ad.
