You know, we've been at this RaisingKaine thing for 8 months now, and we've collected a whole bunch of great material on Jerry Kilgore. I was thinking that it might be a good idea to condense all the reasons NOT to vote for Jerry Kilgore into an easy-to-read "Top 25" list. But then I thought, that's too many in one shot. So, instead, I've started listing a reason per day, counting down -- David Letterman style - to #1 in early October. Anyway, here's reason #17!
17) Kilgore consistently refuses to debate one of the three candidates in this year's Virginia gubernatorial race, the "independent Republican," Senator Russ Potts. In addition, Kilgore also has been extremely reluctant to debate at all, with the first debate held in West Virginia on a Saturday morning with no TV coverage, and the second in the middle of a weekday on a cable news channel that reaches only a few hundred thousand people at most in Northern Virginia. Of course, after watching yesterday's pathetic performance by Jerry "the duck", I can see why he's so camera shy!
