Two questions about the Kaine/Kilgore/Potts election next week

[skipos]

1. What do you think about this?

From Kilgore.com

"The Washington Post released its findings today and shows Tim Kaine with a 47-to-44 lead over Jerry Kilgore, a statistical tie when the margin of error of 3% is considered."

"In 1993, the final Post poll shortchanged George Allen's percentage by six points. In 1997, Jim Gilmore won eight percent more of the vote than the Post gave him credit for. Mark Earley performed six points better than the Post predicted in 2001. Over the course of the last three gubernatorial races, the Post has misstated Republican performance by an average of 6.6 points."

2. How can I convince some some friends who are lifelong Republicans to vote for Potts? There is no way they would vote for Kaine.

1. probably remind them that the Republican party of Bush is broken, and the

best way for them to display their anger over the current state of their party is through the ballot box, where they can vote for a true Goldwater conservative instead of a Bush Republican.

or some crap like that.

2. The only problem is they aren't that angry.

Disappointed, yes.
