It didn't seem right that we'd just post our list of The Top 25 Reasons Not to Vote for Jerry Kilgore on Raising Kaine. We owe it to our readers to say why we support Tim Kaine for Governor. The real problem with both these lists was paring them down to ONLY 25 items each. Well, we did our best. Here is our countdown of The Top 25 Reasons to Vote for Tim Kaine , counting down one-by-one, here's #23.23. Tim Kaine gives a great speech! When you listen to Tim Kaine, you get inspired to roll your sleeves up and do the hard work to make Virginia and America better in the future.. When listen to Jerry Kilgore, you get inspired to roll up cotton and stuff it in your ears not only because Kilgore is so difficult to listen to, but because his politics are all about division and separation. That's bad politics, bad for Virginia and bad for the future
... the common sense coalition that said "Yes" to Virginia, a coalition of strong Democratic leaders and some reasonable Republicans, defeated the forces of "No."There?s been a lot of talk since the budget passed about who the winners and losers are. Was it this group or that group? Was it this politician or that one? Let me make it easy for you. When it comes to this state budget, there?s one group?and only one group?that won: the people of Virginia. That?s who won the budget battle.
The budget means that Virginia?s great record for job growth ? second best in the nation ? will continue. That?s why business leaders, labor unions and workers stood with us to do the right thing.
The budget means your children will get a better education in our public schools and that teachers will be more fairly paid. That?s why parents and teachers across the state stood with us to do the right thing.
The budget enhances our colleges and universities and makes higher education more accessible for your children. That?s why college students and higher-ed supporters stood with us to do the right thing.
