 | | Opening a two-day swing with a pep rally-news conference at state Republican headquarters on East Grace Street, the newly nominated Kilgore, lieutenant governor candidate Bill Bolling of Hanover County and Robert F. McDonnell of Virginia Beach, the candidate for attorney general, hammered the Democrats as out of touch with Virginia's GOP-leaning electorate. |
 | | Democrats, readying for a rally in Williamsburg on Saturday for their just-assembled ticket, countered that Kilgore and the others are misjudging voters, wrongly calculating that a hard-edged message largely directed at the Republican base is sufficient to win in November. |
 | | In a sign that he may be peeved by the nomination challenge from Mayor George B. Fitch that drew nearly one in five Republican votes on Tuesday, Kilgore referred by name only to Bolling's and McDonnell's primary opponents, praising Sean T. Connaughton of Prince William and Steve Baril of Richmond for their races. |
