You are correct. There are many more things going in Kilgore's favor.
There was a lot of negative press against Oliver North and the convention fight was pretty hectic for him to win the nomination. And yes, it was Marshall Coleman (2 time statewide loser) that ran against North and Robb.
Kilgore got more votes in 2001 than either Warner or Kaine. And he's got the best fund raising apparatus out there.
The more I think of this, the more I think the strategery is to make Kaine look more moderate. Potts says he's in this to win.
I can't believe even he is that delusional.
It will be either Kilgore or Kaine. And we've got to fight like heck to make sure it's Kilgore.
That was one of the ideas I floated at the meeting this morning and it was something not many of the others had thought of, but it made sense to them.
I think one negative aspect of the Democrats' going hard-left is that we end up with these squishy middle-of-the-roaders that can't take a stand on anything. One would almost think that Republicans can't stand success and can only play well from behind.
This is a case in point. Despite being a deeply flawed candidate, Kaine will go through the primaries unopposed. That leaves up the the Republican frontrunner to expose Kaine for the fool he is. The strategery appears to be glossing over his past record and concentrating on his "vision".
