I am also being bombarded with the campaign ads for this race. They are really throwing a lot into this campaign, I have gotten lots of calls from the Virginia GOP, and over the weekend they were canvasing the neighborhood. Northern VA (basically DC suburbs) tends to vote Democratic, while the rest of the state usually votes Republican, so unfortunately I am in a contested area. The litter of campaign signs up and down roads is bad enough.

I think the best attack was the gas-tax crack that Kilgore's campaign blew out of proportion. TinCow is right, the mudslinging started real early in this one.

The best part is that we get this every four years, because Virginia law doesn't allow back-to-back terms by a governor.
