Tim Kaine was on the receiving end of one of the most vicious..

political attacks in recent memory. He handled it quite nicely too. In fact, he turned it around and ended up actually being helped by it. Just throwing this info out there for what it's worth.

RICHMOND, Oct. 14 -- Adolf Hitler became a central character in the Virginia governor's race this week as Republican Jerry W. Kilgore's campaign used the Nazi leader's name in an emotional ad on the death penalty, prompting an outcry Friday from some Jewish leaders.

One day after the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, the Anti-Defamation League condemned Kilgore for using Holocaust imagery to advance his political agenda. Kilgore's ad accuses Democrat Timothy M. Kaine of not supporting the death penalty, even for Hitler, who died in his Berlin bunker in 1945.
