Ugh. The Roanoke Times calls both Kaine and Kilgore mediocre. But at least Kaine’s campaign apparently knows how to use email.
Perhaps the humidity has him frazzled, as Kilgore experienced a now-regrettable ah-ha moment this week upon reading an article in The New Republic that quoted Richmond Mayor Douglas Wilder as saying, “For too many years, this city has been satisfied with stultified mediocrity….”
That’s it! Fresh proof that former Richmond Mayor Kaine is a practitioner of mediocrity. Kilgore dashes off an e-mail to an aide, writing, “How about sending this to the press?? Get others to ask, what was Kaine’s role?? This could get us on offense on rt [his shorthand for right] issue.”
To Kilgore’s chagrin, the aide failed to strip his message from the bottom before hitting the “send” button.
