Fake "Democrat" Voter Guide in VAby Hugo Estrada, Sat Nov 05, 2005 at 06:57:53 PM EST
(Promoted from the diaries. The GOP knows how much trouble they're in because of Bush's failures, so they're going to pull out all the stops when it comes to dirty politics. The Corzine campaign has warned us what's to come here in New Jersey and I would imagine the Kaine campaign is ready for it as well. Still, be alert and report what you see. -- Scott)
I just received "2005 Official Democrat and Progressive Voter Guide-Governor of Virginia" in my mailbox. Its purpose was to inform voters on "the issues most important to Democrat and Progressive voters." In tiny type, next to the picture of Tim Kaine it said "Paid for and authorized by Virginians for Jerry Kilgore."
Not surprisingly, the message was to vote for Russell Potts.
The contact numbers listed were wrong, both for Mr. Potts and Tim Kaine.
A new low in Virginia politics.
UPDATE (Scott): User mlk at Daily Kos posted a diary with scans of the offending materials. Here's the front and a zoom of the 'Paid for...' text.

holy **** : HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! URGENT!! (3.00 / 2)
You should immediately contact Kaine's offices : http://www.kaine2005.org/contact/
(call all of them), and tell them to immediately take remedial actions.
One such action they could take is:
* make a recording of the disgusting campaign tactic
* place calls to the "progressive" voter rolls that they have.
Tell them also to send someone to visit your diary for possible further action and ideas.
They really must to do this since margin will be razon thin, and we all know exactly what dangers await close races these days.
Please come back and post updates.
