Gubernatorial Debate, a strong step for who???
Last night when I was watching the debate between democratic candidate Tim Kaine and republican candidate Jerry Kilgore. I noticed that Kaine was very composed and was not nervous in his words when he sopke. On the other hand Kilgore was very nervous, he would stumble on what he was trying to say and he would use hand jestures at inappropriate times. After he would stumble, what he was trying to say would not come out the way he wanted to.
I also noticed that Kaine has and will also relie on what he and the current govenor, Mark Warner, did while being the attorney general. I think that if he gets elected govenor he wont know what to do with Virginia. During the debate Kaine would sometimes actually answer the question while other times he wouldn't, by just attcking Kilgore. Many of Kilgore's answers, weren't really answers, well they were answers to other questions, none of which were asked, but to his own questions. Most of all the topics that were disscused, both of the candiates dissagreed on everything the other one said.
Kaine had two catch prashes of the night, the first one was, "...best amanged state" and the second one was "i'm not going to apologize for my religion." Kilgore did not have a catch phrase that he would continue to use.
Through the many articles that I have read from last nights debate, most of them have said that last night was a sure win for Kilgore, but I believe differently. I believe that last night wasn't a sure win for any one of those two candidates. Personally I'm leaning more toward Kaine, and the only reason is that at the end of the debate, Tim Kaine made the promise to make sure that at least 51% of his campaign adds for the last month will be postive adds. On the other hand, Kilgore never made the promise, which probably set a sour taste in voters mouths. I know it did to me.
Who knows what will happen in the final month of campaigns.

Sarah, I agree with your comments. Kilgore kept saying what Kaine will do a bad job as governor and he will make the wrong decisions. But then again Kaine kept bringing up Warner and what he has accomplished with him. Its going to be a tough decision for those who have to vote.
yo Sarah
I also noticed how Kaine didn't stumble with what he was saying. It seemed like Kilgore was very hesitant in what he was trying to say, like he was nervous and trying to be something he wasn't. It was kinda funny how he stuttered and hesitated the whole way through the debate.
