(Dem) Candidate Fined for Va. Campaign Fliers
snip>
Besides the GOP elephant logo, the cover of Kaine's mailing last month bore the words "For Virginia Republicans." Inside, it repeated a conservative, anti-tax group's attack on Jerry Kilgore for failing to sign its no-tax-increase pledge or back its tax-slashing agenda.

The Republican Governors Association, on Kilgore's behalf, persuaded the State Board of Elections to fine Kaine $100 for "dishonest and deceptive campaign tactics."
.........
Also Friday, Virginia Democratic Party spokesman Mark Bergman said the party filed an emergency complaint against Kilgore for a mailing that carried the Democratic donkey logo.

Inside, the brochure compared Kaine with independent candidate Russ Potts, who was rated as preferable to liberals or progressives on support for gun control, gay marriage and the right of same-sex couples to adopt.
.........
Kilgore spokesman Tim Murtaugh defended the Republican's mailing as "a legitimate service to the voters to help Tim Kaine spread his message across Virginia."

1. That's so Rovian...
I don't usually believe that all the things attributed to Rove are his doing. This is too close to what he did in Illinois and Texas to be a coincidence.
