George,

The Dems--the DNC, the Virginia Dems, the U Dems, the city Dems--need to hang George Bush around Jerry Kilgore's neck like a skunk. The Repugs need to be portrayed as the corrupt right wing nut party that they are--here in Virginia and in Washington DC. I understand everyone wants to run a clean campaign but as I always say, nice guys finish last.

I was volunteering tonight at the coordinated campaign office and it was a sight to see. The place was packed with volunteers--young, old, black, white, gay, straight, male and female. Everyone working to get Tim, Leslie and Creigh elected. Then Tim came in to talk to all of us. As I said, it was a sight to behold.

I am proud to be a Democrat tonight. No matter what the polls say we will win. I have no doubt.
