The fact that Kilgore sounded an awful lot like Gomer Pyle on his ads didn't help much with those Virginians that didn't know much about him.
Kaine sounds like a cross between a jaded Roman and a jaded fruit. Erk! Glad I won't hear him much. Don't watch TV. FRegards....

I've thought much the same thing - nobody else has commented on it. Face it- There is no way a "sophisticated" Northern Virginia voter is going to vote for someone who sounds like a hayseed with slicked back hair....too working class!
I seriously believe this sort of classism impacted the results.
