"White House Gambles That Boosting Kilgore Will Pay Off for Bush

By Peter Baker
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, November 8, 2005; Page A07

"In jumping into the Virginia governor's race just 10 hours before polling booths open, President Bush put his credibility on the line last night and ensured that the results will be interpreted as a referendum on his troubled presidency. But the White House is gambling that after weeks of political tribulations, Bush has little more to lose."

"Bush's election-eve foray to Richmond to rally behind Republican Jerry W. Kilgore inserted him into the hottest election of the off-year cycle and will test his ability to energize his party's base voters, according to strategists from both parties. Even in a traditionally Republican-leaning state such as Virginia, polls register disenchantment with Bush's leadership, and Kilgore has had trouble running against national headwinds."

11. This Is A Huge Victory!
If you haven't already, it's time to step up and help fund the party's 50-state campaign. Doing so will help us land decisive victories like we did today!
