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 #11!
11) Jerry Kilgore attacked the authenticity of Tim Kaine's deeply-held Roman Catholic beliefs, claiming that Kaine never mentioned his religion ?until it became politically popular to mention [it].? Robert D. Holsworth, director of the L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs at Virginia Commonwealth University, rebutted this, saying that Kaine has been "speaking about his faith for many years, even before he ran for statewide office. It?s evident it?s something that is deeply felt in his life."
