“I’m more like Mark Warner than Tim Kaine will ever be.”
– Jerry Kilgore, Washington Post, February 28, 2005
Man, I thought the Kilgore campaign was transparent last week. I’m feeling downright embarrassed for Kilgore now.
So why is Kilgore now Governor Warner’s #1 fan? As the Kaine campaign points out in a press release, a new poll shows that 61% of Virginia Republicans have a favorable opinion of Warner, along with 78% of independents and 71% of all Virginians.
For a guy so strongly opposed to nearly everything that Governor Warner did in his time in office, it’s amazing to me that Kilgore is so much like him now, more so, even, than Warner’s own fellow Democrat and Lieutenant, Tim Kaine.
Like I said. Just just feel embarrassed for the guy at this point.
