Monday night I went to a fundraiser for our Lt. Governor, Tim Kaine, who is running for governor (the vote is next November, along with the NJ governors race, the only 2 in the country). It was TONS of fun. Tim Kaine is like Bill Clinton without the baggage. He's an amazing guy who absolutely captivates audiences, and is very approachable.
Attorney Genereal Jerry Kilgore, the Republican candidate for governor, is a different story. I have also met him, (before I knew much about his political affiliation), and he seemed like a very slimey character. Two years ago the Virginia Democratic Party had it's phones tapped, and the top people involved were some of his top advisors. In both the Richmond Times Dispatch AND the Washington Post stories came out about it today. This race is going to get nasty and exciting.
Here's the Post article:

I encourage my fellow Virginians to get very active in this race, it's extremely important.
I encourage my fellow political junkies to follow this race, it'll be a good one.
