“If bullshit was currency, Joe Biden would be a billionaire.” - George W. Bush -
trying to push some buttons, eh? :D
actually, i agree with you. kaine has not run a solid campaign.
(mind you, i think he'll make a better governor. but i think kilgore wins it.) -
Govna?"Thus it seems Einstein was doubly wrong when he said, God does not play dice. Not only does God definitely play dice, but He sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they can't be seen."
(Stephen Hawking's God
In his best-selling book "A Brief History of Time", physicist Stephen Hawking claimed that when physicists find the theory he and his colleagues are looking for - a so-called "theory of everything" - then they will have seen into "the mind of God". Hawking is by no means the only scientist who has associated God with the laws of physics. Nobel laureate Leon Lederman, for example, has made a link between God and a subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson. Lederman has suggested that when physicists find this particle in their accelerators it will be like looking into the face of God. But what kind of God are these physicists talking about?
Theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg suggests that in fact this is not much of a God at all. Weinberg notes that traditionally the word "God" has meant "an interested personality". But that is not what Hawking and Lederman mean. Their "god", he says, is really just "an abstract principle of order and harmony", a set of mathematical equations. Weinberg questions then why they use the word "god" at all. He makes the rather profound point that "if language is to be of any use to us, then we ought to try and preserve the meaning of words, and 'god' historically has not meant the laws of nature." The question of just what is "God" has taxed theologians for thousands of years; what Weinberg reminds us is to be wary of glib definitions.)Comment

Spooky announcer guy in Kilgore TV ad now says:
"Tim KAINE will RAISE your GAS tax!"
Scary voiceover ads that have little to do with the truth aimed at TV viewers win elections unfortunately.
Also, Kilgore has been coached to speak in extremely simple language...whereas, in real life he's not so dumb and can actually hold an intelligent conversation (rumor has it)...this UNFORTUNATELY also wins elections.
Kaine wins Northern VA 55% to 42% (Potts gets 3%)...
Kilgore wins the rest of VA by 55% to 45% and wins the total vote 51% to 49%

55 to 42 in northern virginia? i'm guessing it's much closer.
i actually think kilgore will win a squeaker in fairfax. (either way, it'll be within 3 points.)
sure, kaine takes arlington and alexandria pretty well. but kilgore is strong in prince william and loudoun.
unfortunately, i don't think the statewide total will be all that close.
which is kinda crazy, in that if warner were allowed to succeed himself, not only would he win by a decent margin, but he'd coattail in some candidates as well...Comment
