Big endorsements for Jerry Kilgore

Chad Dotson reports on a big momentum shift for Jerry Kilgore in the gubernatorial elections. The NRA came out in favor of Jerry Kilgore and sharply criticized Tim Kaine for claiming to have their support. Jerry Kilgore also recieved the endorsement of the NOVABizPAC, the political action committee of the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce. Considering that Northern Virginia is Tim Kaine's to lose, this may greatly aid the Kilgore campaign. With recent polls suggesting a gap that is quickly closing, this brings the advantage back in the Kilgore camp, but now is not the time to get complacent.

With thirty-three days until Election Day, the race is far from over, and ensuring that a liberal is not sitting in the Governor's mansion in January will require still more work. November 9th will bring rest (though November 10th will likely bring the beginning of campaign for the opponent of George Allen).
