In what is surely one of the oddest political traditions anywhere in the country, the Republican and Democratic nominees for governor of Virginia hold their first debate at the Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. I’m wondering if our bloggers could engage in a little handicapping before the event.
Has Tim Kaine so pysched out Jerry Kilgore regarding his accent and debating skills that Kilgore’s performance will be affected?
Given the incredibly low expectations for Kilgore, will merely getting clobbered instead of getting annihilated constitute a “win”?
Given the non-televised nature of the joust, does the debate really matter?
Can we trust the Sunday morning evaluations of the reporters covering the event as to which candidate acquits himself best?
