You know, we've been at this RaisingKaine thing for 8 months now, and we've collected a whole bunch of great material on Jerry Kilgore. I was thinking that it might be a good idea to condense all the reasons NOT to vote for Jerry Kilgore into an easy-to-read "Top 25" list. But then I thought, that's too many in one shot. So, instead, I've started listing a reason per day, counting down -- David Letterman style - to #1 in early October. Anyway, here's reason #8!
8) Kilgore is buddies with Eric Cantor, one of the loyal lieutenants to Tom DeLay, caught up in a major corruption scandal. Perhaps the reason you don't hear much about the close Kilgore-Cantor-DeLay relationship is the fact that Cantor's wife is on the board of directors at Media General, which owns several of the newspapers in Virginia (including the Richmond Times-Dispatch). Hmmm.
