FROM TODAY

Candidate tours state to win votes
Rivals for down-ticket spots try to stand out in a crowded field
by Pamela Stallsmith
It's hard to miss the 32-foot-long Roadmaster with the blue-and-orange Chap Petersen signs in the windows.

Corin's comment: Who?

FROM SUNDAY

Telling regional accents?
Commotion about Kilgore's tone of voice is a 'political sideshow,' an analyst says
by Tyler Whitley

If I was gonna promote where you could get a sticker like this,
I certainly wouldn't tell you to check out: Ward Wear.

Governor's race isn't just about Kaine, Kilgore
by Jeff Schapiro
Forget about Tim Kaine and Jerry Kilgore. The race for Virginia governor is all about George Allen. And Mark Warner. And don't forget Linwood Holton.

FROM SATURDAY

by Tyler Whitley
Republican gubernatorial candidate Jerry W. Kilgore said yesterday that proposed federal legislation requiring greater documentation by people seeking driver's licenses will make the nation more secure from terrorist attacks.

The online version of our twice weekly gannett rag does not include the articles from Saturday about Kaine and Kilgore being here on the Shore last week.

One article had a totally inane comment from Kaine about how driving over the causeway from the Eastern Shore to Chincoteague Island has such a calming effect on him (gag me) and the other article was about what either Kaine or Kilgore would do regarding Bob Bloxom as Ag Secretary............IOW - nothing terribly earth shattering.

I used to know some folks who lived in Melfa (don't know if they still do), near Onancock. That's a pretty area. Does the ferry still run from Onancock to Tangier?

Kilgore pingage.

Candidates differ on statewide referendums
While Kilgore favors them, Kaine says they shouldn't be the only way to raise taxes

by Tyler Whitley
Republican gubernatorial candidate Jerry W. Kilgore yesterday defended his proposal to require a statewide referendum before any increase in the state sales, income or gasoline tax could be enacted.

"Government should not tell the people how much it wants -- the people should tell government how much it gets," he said.

There are ferries to Tangier, I'm pretty sure one still runs from Onancock. I haven't been to tangier, but spend a lot of time in Onancock - it's a great town.

Kilgore ping:

Kaine plays up ties to Southwest Va.
In new ad, he says region is 'in family's blood,' but GOP sees damage control
by Jeff Schapirio
Accused by his likely Republican rival of belittling Southwest Virginia, Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Timothy M. Kaine is running a new radio spot in which he says the politically important region is "in my family's blood."

What a load of Hillary!
