Not good enough...........that black mark when it comes to taxes wipes it out TOTALLY. I'm one of those middle class folks that bought a house BEFORE his tax increase and refinanced AFTER it......I'm also a smoker.
Warner may have been terrific on firearms issues - but he s****d on just about everything else.
But in the end - it really doesn't matter who is in the Governor's Mansion.........the legislature can tell him/her to go pack sand - as long as we have a big enough majority with some BACKBONE.
Unfortunately that is not going to happen this year - so the last thing we need is a Warner wannabe that is anti-2nd amendment and we all know kaine is just that. And we sure as heck don't need a crackpot that states from the get go he WILL increase taxes even more.
The tax issue is my only real gripe with Warner. Gilmore dropped ball also - he had the public support to repeal the car tax and settled for a real half baked non-win. We still have the car tax.
The legislature is the problem - curiously the same Republicans who vote for higher taxes are non-responders to VCDL surveys also. A lot also getr NRA A ratings.
