Not Bob Roberts' eyebrows seem to have grown a bit over the weekend. He is predicting the following numbers in the gubernatorial race:
Kilgore - 45%
Kaine - 40%
Potts - 15%
We've got a couple of problems with those numbers:
1. Not Bob points out that Virginia is a conservative state. We agree. But with the totals Bob has given us, it looks like 55% of the electorate will vote for the more liberal guys. We don't understand that.
2. Not Bob's Eyebrows tell us that Potts will pull votes from Kaine, not Kilgore. Our intuition tells us the same thing, but we're not willing to go so far as to give Potts 15%. Not yet. Even with his folksy stories about burning down cornfields in his youth.
Kilgore is still the odds-on favorite, but his momentum has definitely eased lately.
